The Viking

Well how do you do? My name is Lars I'm from Cambell, California You might know that by now I'm of Danish decent For that I'm proud See, my father was a nomad I haven't seen him for awhile Lost a brother Still got a mother, I ain't motherless For some of you out there That might be hard to believe See, I've been up and I've been down Smiled and I've frown I'vve made a every gesture That a young man could steal And I know that I'm married to the sea Well, I know I'm married to the sea You see, some people are on lockdown And some are free But I know that I'm married to the sea Well I've been rich I've been poor Spent it on whores Got married and divorced To the girl that's next door Stolen fast cars, dated pop stars Been around the world Slept with underage women Turned tricks for a thrill Tried sucide but didn't die Well I'm here to tell I don't know of heaven But I've made peace with hell Been shot at, been stabbed Been beaten up real bad Survived everything without being killed And I know I'm married to the sea And I know I'm married to the sea Some people are on lockdown man Some are free And I know I'm married to the sea Slept in fancy hotels, eaten from garbage cans But down every highway I grew into a man Seen my best friend die right before my eyes Aborted a baby and shed all my tears Been strung out on pills Slammed my share of dope yea I drank all your booze man And I snorted your coke I've been loved I've been hated To me it's all the same Embraced by a lover Or your cursing my name And I know I'm married to the sea And I know I'm married to the sea Some people are on lockdown And some are free And I know I'm married to the sea And I know I'm married to the sea And I know I'm married to the sea Some people are on lockdown sugar And some are free And I know I'm married to the sea I'm married to the sea You see the great big ocean Well that's for me Sorry ladies, I'm married to the sea I'm married to the sea I'm married to the sea But I'm free Yeah, I'm free... --- The Viking - Lars Frederiksen & the Bastards
