Andrew Volpe - Rotten Town Lyrics

[Verse 1]
'Twas quite
The inky black night
All the weather vanes were turning
And the constable was burning out his light
When lo
Our anchors went down, barnacle bound
The men were up and churning
Yes, and soon the square was burning to the ground

[Pre-Chorus]
And, oh, the flames were as gold

[Chorus]
I scowl at the angry moon
I am sick on myself, I'm a bum
What have I become?
A drunken maroon run aground
In this rotten town

[Verse 2]
It's been
A fortnight or two
The mutineers were plotting against the captain
As I'm rotting in the goo
The constable was set to drown while the shabby scabs who went to town
Were reconnoitering with blades and guns
But the ale had started spilling
Yes, and soon the crew was killing everyone
[Pre-Chorus 2]
And all the streets burned with gold
But, oh, my bones were so cold

[Chorus]
I scowl at the angry moon
I am sick on myself, I'm a bum
What have I become?
A drunken maroon run aground
In this rotten town

[Bridge]
I stumbled down the harbor to the tavern on the square
And heard a raucous ruckus as it rang
From some foul inebriates, some men I used to call my mates
Were lost in song and this is what they sang
They sang

"Hey, hi, yo-ho!
O'er the Atlantic we go
Drinking 'til we all get sick and coming up with limericks
But we never quite remember how they end"

I can see my childhood home
I think of my dear old mum
What have I become?
[Chorus]
I scowl at the angry moon
I am sick on myself, I'm a bum
What have I become?
A drunken maroon run aground
In this rotten town
I scowl at the angry moon
I am sick on myself, I'm a bum
What have I become?
A drunken maroon run aground
In this rotten town
I scowl at the angry moon
I am sick in a barrel of rum
What have I become?
A drunken maroon run aground
In this rotten, in this rotten
In this rotten town
