about

we have nothing to fear but ourselves / we have nothing to lose but our shells / we have nothing to gain but the crown of the sea / we have nothing to win but the wind in the trees

lyrics

i’ve been high, I’ve been low, I’ve been bad
i’ve taken a step out ahead
i've been down to the ground of the deepest blue sea
i got rid of the chains that've been laid upon me
the lover who fled from my bed
has been me
has been you
has been sad
i’m a lover who walks out the door
i’m a lover who sleeps on the floor

chorus:
i'm exciting and inviting
i'm crazy and i'm bad
i've been lovely, i've been hiding
i’ve been lonely, i've been sad
and just a little bit
sublimely mad

you're strange and familiar as well
you're a stranger whose fate i can tell
you're a stranger whose stories are ones i know well
you're a stranger into whose arms i once fell

chorus:
you're exciting and inviting
you're crazy and you're bad
you've been lovely, you've been hiding
you've been lonely, you've been sad
and just a little bit
sublimely mad

we have nothing to fear but ourselves
we have nothing to lose but our shells
we have nothing to gain but the crown of the sea
we have nothing to win but the wind in the trees
