Viking Lyrics
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 havent seen him for awhile.
Lost a brother, still got a mother; I aint motherless. For some of you out there
I know that might be hard to believe.
See I've been up and I've been down.
I've smiled and I've frowned.
I've made a every gesture that a young man can 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 locked down, man,
and some are free, but I know that I'm married to the sea.
Well I've been rich, I've been poor; spend it all on whores. Got married and divorce 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 didnt die, well I'm here to tell I dont know a heaven, but I've made peace with Hell. Been shot at, been stabbed, been beatin 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 locked down, some are free.
And I know I'm married to the sea.
Slept in fancy hotels, eaten from garbage cans. Down every highway I grew into a man. See my best friend die right before my eyes, aborted a baby and shed on my tears. Been strung out on pills, slammed my share of dope. Yeah,
I drank all your booze man and I snorted your coke. I've been loved I've been hated, to me its all the same. Embraced by a lover 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 locked down, 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 locked down, 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 thats 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.
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 havent seen him for awhile.
I know that might be hard to believe.
See I've been up and I've been down.
I've smiled and I've frowned.
I've made a every gesture that a young man can steal.
and some are free, but I know that I'm married to the sea.
And I know I'm married to the sea.
I drank all your booze man and I snorted your coke. I've been loved I've been hated, to me its all the same. Embraced by a lover your cursing my name.
And I know I'm married to the sea.
And I know I'm married to the sea.
Sorry ladies, I'm married to the sea.
I'm married to the sea. I'm married to the sea.

i can't believe no one commented on this song yet.
probably some of the most sincere and straighforward lyrics i've readin a long time. the best thing to listen to when you're feeling down - cause it just lets you know that everyone has their highs and lows. i never saw this side of Lars - musically and lyrically. this song is great.
Man I can't agree with you more, this is an amazing song. Sounds like it came straight from the heart. Always makes me think about things and how much worse they could be. I need to find the sheet music for the cd
People have claimed that Lars has become a poser, but he's just having fun telling stories on his solo shit. Some stories are about women, drinking and fighting and this one basically sums up his life and tells us how he became the man he is. Long live Rancid members, great song & album.
This song is great because he is so honest and open about his life, the good and the bad.
