[Instrumental Intro] [Verse 1] Step on the dock, coat all black Cutlass on hip, crew at my back Gold in my teeth, grin like a shark Every dame in the tavern wanna taste this dark Talkin' 'bout storms? I bring the tide in Whispers in the alleys ‘bout the beast I’m hidin’ Call it sea serpent, their face goes pale Got ‘em grabbin’ at the table, knockin’ over the ale (hey!) Main mast massive, casts that shade The Inn keepers daughter can't look away She say “captain, captain, what’s beneath your belt?” That’s the yard arm, darling, gonna raise some hell I dock in her bay, make the planks all creak Have her singin’ my name for a couple of weeks Port to port, I leave ‘em love-drunk Every harbor girl braggin’ she survived that trunk [Chorus] I unleash the Sea Serpent (Sea Serpent) Make a whole port shake when I surface (when I surface) Got my yard arm swingin', that’s my purpose (that’s my purpose) Every harbor little hotter when I swerve it I’m the curse, I’m the wave, I’m the cannon blast When I aim, when I flame, no one last From the docks to the bunks, they confirm it Ain’t a soul on these seas that ain’t heard of my serpent [Verse 2] Black flag flutter, I split that haze Lantern light glow on her hungry gaze She feel that bulge at my captain’s sash Say she wanna ride, not talk ‘bout cash Cannon in the hull, loaded deck to keel She beg me “fire,” she addicted to the steel Hands on the wheel, but her knees on deck Give her that voyage she won’t forget East side ports, got ‘em screamin' my name West side ladies wanna taste my blade North wind colder, but they still strip fast South shore sisters try to climb the mast I got widows, wives, and the barmaid, bitch Maidens in the kitchen tryna scratch that itch They line up starboard just to test that girth Swear the tide rise three feet when I wade the surf [Chorus] I unleash the Sea Serpent (Sea Serpent) Make a whole port shake when I surface (shake when I surface) Got my yard arm swingin', that’s my purpose (that’s my purpose) Every harbor little hotter when I swerve it I’m the curse, I’m the wave, I’m the cannon blast When I aim, when I flame, no one last From the docks to the bunks, they confirm it Ain’t a soul on these seas that ain’t heard my serpent [Bridge] [Beat drops to bass and snaps] In the captain’s quarters She seals the latch She don’t want the ship Just wants the mast Maps on the table Legs on the chart Navigate them curves And tear seas apart (yeah) [Chorus] I unleash the Sea Serpent (Sea Serpent) Make a whole port shake when I surface (when I surface) Got my yard arm swingin', that’s my purpose (that’s my purpose) Every harbor little hotter when I swerve it I’m the curse, I’m the wave, I’m the cannon blast When I aim, when I flame, no one last From the docks to the bunks, they confirm it Captain Black on the map Yeah, you know my serpent
