I CAN HEAR THE SIRENS SINGING AGAIN
word & music & vocal: Lucy Monostone

Well it's a starry-studded cast.
It's got me chained to this mast.
And I can hear those sirens singing again.
People tell me to relax, they must have.
Ears stopped up with wax.
'Cause I can hear those sirens singing again.
I know they're calling me, calling me, yeah.
Father, son and holy cow.
Well, they're the last thing I need now.
'Cause I can hear those sirens singing again.
It comes in loud as it can be.
From out there just across the sea.
And I can hear those sirens singing again.
Oh, won't you set me free, set me free, yeah...

When at last I'm finally sober.
And my back's against the wall.
When the song is done and over.
Were they really there at all?

[Chorus 1... in background with "Spoken 1"(below) over it]
We will never doubt you.
We're just mad about you.
We can't live without you.
When the night is falling,
Can't you hear us calling,
When the night is falling.

Take the curve at 95.
It feels so good to be alive.
When I can hear those sirens singing again.
They come on like the radio.
And I just know I got to go.
When I can hear the sirens singing again.
I know they're after me, after me, yeah.
When at last I'm finally sober.
And I'm hanging on the mall.[wall]
When the song is done and over.
Were they ever there at all?

[Chorus 2... in background with "Spoken 2"(below) over it]
I will never doubt you.
I'm just mad about you.
I can't live without you.
When the night is falling,
Can't you hear us calling,
When the night is falling.

Spoken 1
Good evening and welcome to radio station EX[S?]P,
coming to you from just out there, just across the
water, from the land of the lotus eaters.
Unstop your ears, free your mind, partake of our
fruit, follow the bright, shining line of the setting
sun that leads you out over the sea...

Spoken 2
...here with you through the long night with the
sweetest sounds this side of everlasting high heaven
itself...so sit back, cast off your chains, dive into
the water, forget, drown in my voice...swim to
me...come to me...be my love...be my love...be
my love...be my love...be my love...be my
love...be my love...
