"Her tongue is black, haven't you heard
her mutter those three dirty words
for all those foolish boys to hear,
like a siren bringing ships so near"
Not much different in the lyrics, but i think that makes it easier to understand. Also it is bringing ships so near not ringing. Sirens like the greek myth not like the bell. They sing a song and sailors go towards it only to run into rocks and their boats sink.
And Bean is right it is definitely the spring romance line instead of what it is above.
