Lars Frederiksen & The Bastards Lyrics
"The Viking"

Well how do you do?
My name is Lars
I'm from Cambell, California
You might know that by now
I'm of Danish decent
For that I'm proud
See, my father was a nomad
I haven't seen him for awhile
Lost a brother
Still got a mother, I ain't motherless
For some of you out there
That might be hard to believe
See, I've been up and I've been down
Smiled and I've frown
I'vve made a every gesture
That a young man could steal
And I know that I'm married to the sea
Well, I know I'm married to the sea
You see, some people are on lockdown
And some are free
But I know that I'm married to the sea

Well I've been rich I've been poor
Spent it on whores
Got married and divorced
To the girl that's next door
Stolen fast cars, dated pop stars
Been around the world
Slept with underage women
Turned tricks for a thrill
Tried sucide but didn't die
Well I'm here to tell
I don't know of heaven
But I've made peace with hell
Been shot at, been stabbed
Been beaten up real bad
Survived everything without being killed

And I know I'm married to the sea
And I know I'm married to the sea
Some people are on lockdown man
Some are free
And I know I'm married to the sea

Slept in fancy hotels, eaten from garbage cans
But down every highway I grew into a man
Seen my best friend die right before my eyes
Aborted a baby and shed all my tears
Been strung out on pills
Slammed my share of dope yea
I drank all your booze man
And I snorted your coke
I've been loved I've been hated
To me it's all the same
Embraced by a lover
Or your cursing my name

And I know I'm married to the sea
And I know I'm married to the sea
Some people are on lockdown
And some are free
And I know I'm married to the sea

And I know I'm married to the sea
And I know I'm married to the sea
Some people are on lockdown sugar
And some are free
And I know I'm married to the sea

I'm married to the sea
You see the great big ocean
Well that's for me
Sorry ladies, I'm married to the sea
I'm married to the sea
I'm married to the sea

But I'm free
Yeah, I'm free...
