Our take on Jason and the Argonauts, with a homage to Pachelbel tossed in for good measure

lyrics

Sirens
by Boffo Yux Dudes

I may be your captain, but I am still but a man
We are facing danger and I’ll do all that I can
So gather all around me and I will tell you all what I have planned

Grab the thickest ropes, boys, and tie me to the mast
Do not listen to my pleas until the danger’s past
If we cannot sail away there is not a chance left that we can last

Surrounded by the water but this is a trial by fire
I cannot sing so well and I will not become a lyre
So I must guide us home while I resist the thing that most I do desire

Chorus:
Grab the thickest ropes, boys, and tie me to the mast
Do not listen to my pleas until the danger’s past
If we cannot sail away there is not a chance left that we can last

Close your eyes and plug your ears, you must ignore my screams
Even though the sounds you hear will haunt you in your dreams
Or hopes will dash against the rocks; paradise is never what it seems
