sing
On Christmas Day, on Christmas Day
Oh he did whistle and she did sing
On Christmas Day in the morning
Saint Michael was the steersman

The steersman is blind yet so narcissistic
Never you mind since the sea is plastic

VERSE II.

Your eyes are watchful
Your ears are list'ning
Your lips

like a salty sin
He's on a journey tells his plan
Wants me to be his steersman
Set the sails the quest begins
It takes you to forgotten shores
