There's no wisdom I may give
Only my apologies
If an answer you must have
There is a cave by the sea
You'll find the rey Methuselah
As wind-swept as the trees
Should you approach them there
I advise you do so gingerly

Lorelei
(Trouble my pardon)
Oh I
Throw myself over
(Raptor of soul)
Lorelei
(Sweet warm kisser)
Oh my
(Coffins are spinning)
And I'm so far from home

There was a time of innocence
We knew nothing of the sea
Land-locked in all directions
Riding elephants to victory
When the war was last at over
To the circus, the beast went
So he walked until the land's end
And he's been there ever since

Lorelei
(Trouble my pardon)
Oh I
Throw myself over
(Rapture of soul)
Lorelei
(Sweet warm kisser)
Oh my
(Coffins are spinning)
And I'm so far from home

Lorelei
(Trouble my pardon)
Oh I
Throw myself over
(Rapture of soul)
Lorelei
(Sweet warm kisser)
Oh my
(Coffins are spinning)
And I'm so far from home
