[Verse 1] I stayed true to the course as I could
But the sirens are hard to ignore
Once you open up to the song
You’ll go down, down, down before long

[Chorus] I got a bad heart, got a mean streak
A good way of leaving you weak
Got time to kill, but time don’t equal love
It just reminds you of the water we can’t get above

[Verse 2] The sirens will take you down low
Your heart once fast goes slow
Your throat burns from where there was song;
All the words and the harmony gone

[Chorus] I got a bad heart, got a mean streak
A good way of leaving you weak
Got time to kill, but time don’t equal love
It just reminds you of the water we can’t get above

[Bridge] One last call to carry you home. I won’t let you fall
One more song to follow you down- it goes on and on and on

[Chorus] I got a bad heart, got a mean streak
A good way of leaving you weak
Got time to kill, but time don’t equal love
It just reminds you of the water we can’t get above
