I dropped my anchor in the dead of night, I packed my suitcase and threw it away
I fell asleep in the funeral fire, I gave my clothes to the policeman
Blow back, derelict wind, lay my soul in the foul of the air
Blow back, derelict wind, lay my soul in the foul of the air

Shooting venom at the passers-by, hijackers tie the heavens down
Put my eyes in a paper bag, spinnin' 'round like a gamblin' wheel
Blow back, derelict wind, lay my soul in the foul of the air
Blow back, derelict wind, lay my soul in the foul of the air

I drop my anchor in the dead of night, I packed my suitcase and threw it away
I fell asleep in the funeral fire, I gave my clothes to the policeman
Blow back, derelict wind, lay my soul in the foul of the air
Blow back, derelict wind, lay my soul in the foul of the air
