Warning: Obscene lyrics
Based on the poem of the same name by Arthur Rimbaud. English translation by Paul Schmidt.
lyrics
My weeping heart on the deck drools spit,
They soil it with cigarette butts.
They spatter it with slop and shit,
My weeping heart on the deck drools spit.
The soldiers drink and laugh at it,
The sound of laughing hurts my guts.
My weeping heart on the deck drools spit,
They soil it with cigarette butts.
Soliders cocks are a black burlesque,
They rape my heart with what they say.
In scrolls on masks grotesque,
Soliders cocks are a black burlesque.
Ocean abracadabrantesque,
Takes my heart and wash it away.
Soliders cocks are a black burlesque,
They rape my heart with what they say.
When they are done and all worn out,
How will I act my stolen heart?
All I will hear is a drunken shout,
When they are done and all worn out.
I'll throw up and then pass out,
I know with my heart torn apart.
When they are done and all worn out,
How will I act my stolen heart?
