[Verse 1]
The poet's disgrace
No words to rhyme with your face
I study the lines then I trace them back to Earth

[Pre-chorus]
I could never listen
To the ordinary tunes
You are something else
You are something else

[Chorus 1]
I keep on trying
To throw my line in
Baited, quiet, but you're not biting
Anchors pulled in
The sea is open
Keep and even keel

[Verse 2]
Into the waves
I never go with the grain
It always trips me up and makes me fall

[Pre-chorus]
I could never listen
To the ordinary tunes
You are something else
You are something else
Yes, you are something else
You are something else
[Bridge]
(It begins with my father
Getting in with my mother...)
(Then a stranger
For a daughter
It begins
With your father
Getting in
With your mother
You're no stranger
Than me)

[Chorus 2]
Come on try it
You know you'll like it
Each day I'm wasting
Until you're tasting
My only danger
Is human nature
And pirates at my heels
