[Verse 1]
I gave you a rose and a feather
Scissors and a whip and scalpel too
I gave you a gun and a bullet
A pot o' honey and my body all up to you
I told you, "Now we need an actor
And that’s you and you’re gonna write the play
Everything is on the table
You can play this anyhow, anyway"

[Chorus]
Now my heart is just like a rock out on the sea
Now my heart is just like a rock out on the sea

[Verse 2]
You slipped across the border
From kind caress to cruel attack
You got no clue how you made it
Many roads lead there but, I tell you, none lead back

[Chorus]
Oh, my heart is just like a rock out on the sea
Oh, my heart is just like a rock out on the sea

[Verse 3]
I came to you with my wounds a-weeping
I came to you looking for your eyes
You dropped your head, you couldn’t leave here quick enough
And went back to your not so brilliant disguise
[Chorus]
Oh, my heart is just like a rock out on the sea
Oh, my heart is just like a rock out on the sea
