Morgan sold me down the river
She told me everything I wanted was in reach when I was with her
She put a hand on my shoulder and I floated like a sinner
I saw her fleet on the horizon and pretty people smiling and I kissed her

Morgan took me to her kingdom
I felt like we were flying as I sailed through her ether
All the sirens fell silent to listen, to listen
But Morgan begged us not to leave her, like we ever could leave her

She chopped my life into pieces she promised to make whole again
Like the lamb that burst forth from her cauldron new and young again
But no one uttered the words, when they threw all my fragments in
And my flesh dissolved in this brew I'm still swimming in

I remember the morning
Yeah I was busy fawning, and falling, and moaning
Heard her shiver and groan, I was hoping
I heard her pornographic moans through the phone but now that's all she is

Oh Morgan sold me on a promise
She took me on all sorts of journeys around her breast and through her stomach
I should have stopped to think somewhere around then
Oh but Morgan had found a new use for my head

She planted a seed on the sand and a pill on my tongue
What a fine afternoon we spent walking 'round her towns
I fed her my hopes and she told me this place could be ours
But next thing the world was hung over and over and over and over and over and over
And over and out

Her storm clouds shimmy in dying light
With all the beauty of a life and a wife left behind
But on closer inspection there's nothing in, nothing inside
So long sons of the wind, her harpies bring on the night

Oh Morgan, Morgan, she's my precious picture
With stars tangled in her hair, sacred nymph of salt rivers
I crawled through the muck and much worse just get to her, get to her, get to her
And there she is, there she is, there she is

I begged for a life I could recognise
The people and places to fraternise
I screamed, I cried, they were only lies, only lies, only lies
I fell for it all, and that's no surprise, no surprise, no surprise, no surprise, no surprise, no

That's no surprise
That's no surprise
That's no surprise
That's no surprise
That's no surprise
That's no surprise
That's no surprise
That's no surprise

See that was all early in my mourning and scorning
Morgan showed me the pointlessness of all of that wanting
Said there's so many lonely girls who'd crave such a promise
So now we're both calling and holding and phoning and busting and groaning and kissing and promising, promising more

And I'm just like her
Some hole in the earth
And I'm converting worse into worse into worse into worse into worse into worse into worse into worse into worse
And I'm hoping it hurts
I'm hoping it hurts
I'm hoping it hurts
I'm hoping it hurts

I'm hoping it hurts
I'm hoping it hurts
I'm hoping it hurts
I'm hoping it hurts

I'm hoping it hurts
I'm hoping it hurts
I'm hoping it hurts
I'm hoping it hurts

I'm hoping it hurts
I'm hoping it hurts
I'm hoping it hurts
I'm hoping it hurts
I'm hoping it hurts
