“Beware of the Siren” is a pop ballad with some reoccurring characters from Vinny’s prior micro and published songs. It focuses on our Lesbian Hunter and Rose, from “Tale of the Lesbian Hunter” and “Lady of the Lyre” respectively, attempting to cross a lake. Captain Platonic, from “Captain Platonic”...
[Verse 1]
The Hunter said to Rose alone by the lake
"Our journey ends without a ship we can take"
Captain Platonic came 'pon 'em from outta the night
And said "I'll get you where you're going if the money is right,"
[Pre-Chorus]
"But just beware of the Siren
She'll bring you up, bring you down
When she's singing loud
Just beware of the Siren
She'll tear you up, tear you down
When she's calling out"
She sounds like
[Chorus]
"Hey, whatcha doin' way up above me?
Get your feet wet, come down and love me
I'll bring the vibes, you just bring your body
'Cause I want you, I want you, I want –"
[Verse 2]
The Hunter said, "I hear her out from the shore"
The Captain plead, "Just don't listen anymore!"
The song came closer and closer as she's coming toward
Until the Hunter and her lover both jumped out overboard!
[Pre-Chorus]
Just beware of the Siren
She'll bring you up, bring you down
When she's singing loud
Just beware of the Siren
She'll tear you up, tear you down
When she's calling out
She sounds like
[Chorus]
"Hey, whatcha doin' way up above me?
Get your feet wet, come down and love me
I'll bring the vibes, you just bring your body
'Cause I want you, I want you, I want –
Hey, whatcha doin' way up above me?
Get your feet wet, come down and love me
I'll bring the vibes, you just bring your body
'Cause I want you, I want you, I want –"
[Bridge]
Unfazed, unchanged, the Captain went grabbing
His crossbow and tossed rope and dove for his guests
Hands raised, close range, head up, took aim
The Siren was smiling, then shot through the chest
[Pre-Chorus]
Just beware of the Siren
She'll bring you up, bring you down
When she's singing loud
Just beware of the Siren
She'll tear you up, tear you down
When she's calling out
She sounds like
[Chorus]
"Hey, whatcha doin' way up above me?
Get your feet wet, come down and love me
I'll bring the vibes, you just bring your body
'Cause I want you, I want you, I want –
Hey, whatcha doin' way up above me?
Get your feet wet, come down and love me
I'll bring the vibes, you just bring your body
'Cause I want you, I want you, I want –"
