Tell my family I had to leave. I'm going away. Tell my friends for me. They'd all agree that I gotta get out of here.
Give my things away. Forget my name. I'm leaving today. If you see me again, it'll be my skeleton, cause I won't be back alive.
I'm gonna sail that boat right into the sun, cause everybody knows that's how it's done.
Now don't you cry and don't you wait, if I meet my end, well, that'd be my fate.
You are as soft as a feather. You are as gorgeous as ever. You are exactly what I should want. But I don't want you.
I Wouldn't survive one more day.

I have come to speak with you about your daughter.
She's no girl, she's a woman sir. If she wants to go and see the world she oughtta.
You have kept her here for twenty years alone.
But I'll have you know she's fully grown, and she sure knows just what she wants, my god.
If you won't allow her leaving I must take her.
I'm seeing red and I'd kill you dead if you tried to keep her here, no you can't make her.
You imagine that she's just as pure as ever.
But I have been known to shake her bones yeah we've been known to shudder and moan together.
I am not the problem. You are.
I love her. She loves me. I thought you should know.

We Went Wild

She was wise beyond all others.
On the island she was my lover.
We went wild and it almost killed me, I was blind.
But for thirteen days of sun and her I thought I'd never die.
I couldn't get tired, although I should have been sleeping.
For the first time I wasn't hard of feeling.
And at night, while the others were dreaming, we went wild.
We'd go running through the temples and the forests of the isle.
For thirteen of those sleepless nights I thought I'd never die.
I don't know what the hell it was that gave us so much life. On the island we went wild, we never closed our eyes. Don't know where she's gone or what she's done to who since then. She loved me right into the ground. I won't go wild again.
I thought good times could last forever.
Long nights and perfect weather.
I tried to never say never, but I was wrong.
The wildness of those days couldn't last for long.
I woke up on the beach one day and found that she had gone.
The rains had come, there was no sun, I felt so deadly tired.
After thirteen days of loving her I felt like I could die.
We went wiiiild.
