lyrics

the sirens sing out to me
calling me in from the stormy rough seas
their voices so sweet i wanna capsize
i've been away for a long time
drifting away with the flow
but now i'm tired and i wanna go home

you oughta know by now
all the things you'd do if only you knew how
to think for yourself
you oughta know by now
all the things you'd do if only you knew how
to think for yourself

i don't know how
i got caught with my hands in the cookie jar
it tastes so sweet
it feels so good, but it's not who you are
not who you are

baby, do you like this?
tell me what you drink
tell me anything
i am sailing in a moonbeam with you

baby, do you trust me?
tell me what you need
i'll do anything
use me, love me, or abuse me
make me new

the sirens call out to me
leading me in from the chilly deep sea
their voices so sweet
i'm gonna shipwreck
i've been adrift for a lifetime
floating away in the breeze
but now i'm sick and i wanna leave

you oughta know by now
all the things you'd do if only you knew how
to think for yourself
you oughta know by now
all the things you'd do if only you knew how
to think for yourself

i don't know how
i got caught with my hands in the cookie jar
it tastes so sweet
it feels so good, but it's not who you are
not who you are

dreamless sleep, wash over me
come, send me to sea
dreamless sleep, wash over me
come, send me to sea
send me to sea

baby, do you like this?
tell me what you dream
tell me anything
i am sailing in a moonbeam with you

baby, do you trust me?
tell me what you need
i'll do anything
use me, love me, or abuse me
make me new

you oughta know by now
you oughta know by now
i don't know how
