She is the heart
and she stands with her hand
over the mouth of truth
He is the head
and he's handing out lies
and half-truths constantly
I am the landlord
and my problem is this
I believe every word that they say
They told me there was a fleet of arks
Coming to save my soul
The water is rising up past the windows
And the waves beginning to roll, roll over me

Note: Adrian sings "were" a fleet of arks which - out of the heat of composition I realise is a terrible grammatical error so I have written it correctly in the lyrics as "was" for the future re-recording stage. Sorry AJE.
I like that if this weren't a normal situation for intuitively using the wrong inflection, it would be fine! Sounds like the sort of grammary you'd find in folk/dialectal lyrics.
They're good ones, too, and I like.
Thanks Annelise!
