One, two, three Well, Lillie's dress was backless She's an educated actress Her job is waiting tables But she makes her money on the mattress She likes to play piano Likes to use her words like ammo She dreams of sequin stages And entertaining boys in camo She's an anchor She's an anchor She's an anchor She's an anchor in the deep blue sea Well, it's three degrees below She's got seven blocks to go She's tired of what they call her So she sits down in the snow Turns her coat against the weather And tries to pull herself together Says, "I might not make it out but I can try and make it better" She's an anchor She's an anchor She's an anchor She's an anchor in the deep blue sea She says, "I wish I could go back Wish I could take back all those choices I would've never let you go I would've stopped you in the doorway" ♪ There's a tidal wave downtown And there is panic all around There's looting and there's shooting And the power lines are down But twinkle goes the night With a spoon and candlelight And all the birds start singing She is swallowed by the night She's an anchor She's an anchor She's an anchor She's an anchor in the deep blue sea Life will make you shiver It's a long and lonely river When you're an anchor in the deep blue sea
