The Cold Licks - Dark Tongue Lyrics

At the waterfront in Brindisi
When the moon is full and the sea is smooth
You may hear a voice wailing
Save me save me please
Don't go looking for it if you do
The fishermen they call her Sappho
Though no one swears for sure she's real
It's just that young men here go missing
And it's been going on for years
She knows how lonely boys can get
When their solitude is whet
And they wander from the bars
Unaware of who they are
She waits until there's one alone
Or so the story has been honed
And with her purr and silver ring
Her dark tongue it does him in
No one's ever found a body
And the mayor says it's all a ruse
But when you hear that wail
Save me save me please
You know the next one will be you
The fishermen they call her Sappho
Though no one swears for sure she's real
It's just that young men here go missing
And it's been going on for years
Save me save me please
Please save me
Save me please
Please save me
She knows how lonely you can get
Knows your story as of yet
Knows you'll brave that broken shore
For a taste of what's in store
And when you find yourself alone
She appears at first you moan
As with her purr and silver ring
Her dark tongue does you in
Save me please
Save me please
Won't you please save me
Save me please
Save me please
Won't you please save me
When you find yourself alone
She appears at first you moan
As the purr and the silver ring
Of her dark tongue does you in
She knows how lonely you can get
Knows your story as of yet
Knows you'll brave that broken shore
For a taste of what's in store
When you find yourself alone
She appears at first you moan
As the purr and the silver ring
Of her dark tongue does you in
She knows how lonely you can get
Knows your story as of yet
Knows you'll brave that broken shore
For a taste of what's in store
Save me
Save me
Save me
Save me please
Save me
Save me
Save me
Save me please
Save me
Save me
Save me
Save me please
Save me
Save me
Save me
Save me please
