[Verse 1]

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

[Chorus]

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

[Verse 2]

Shooting venom at the passers-by

Hijackers tie the heavens down

I put my eyes in a paper bag

I'm spinning 'round like a gambling wheel

[Chorus]

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

[Verse 3]

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

[Chorus]

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
