Margaret Atwood - Siren Song lyrics

[Margaret Atwood - Siren Song lyrics]

This is the one song everyone
Would like to learn: the song
That is irresistible:

The song that forces men
To leap overboard in squadrons
Even though they see beached skulls

The song nobody knows
Because anyone who had heard it
Is dead, and the others can’t remember
Shall I tell you the secret
And if I do, will you get me
Out of this bird suit? I don’t enjoy it here
Squatting on this island
Looking picturesque and mythical
With these two feathery maniacs
I don’t enjoy singing
This trio, fatal and valuable

I will tell the secret to you


To you, only to you come closer this song

Is a cry for help: Help me!
Only you, only you can, you are unique

At last alas it is a boring song
But it works every time
