- Banjo Lyrics / with translationsThere's something that I'm watching
Means a lot to me
There's something that I'm watching
Means a lot to me
It's a broken benjo bobbing
On the dark infested sea
It's a broken benjo bobbing
On the dark infested sea
Don't know how it got there
Maybe taken by the wave
Don't know how it got there
Probably taken by the wave
Of the someones shoulder
Or out of someones grave
Of the someones shoulder
Or of the someones grave
It's coming for me, darling
No matter where I go
It's coming for me darling
No matter where I go
Its duty is to harm me
My duty is to know
Its duty is to harm me
My duty is to know
There is something that I'm watching
Means a lot to me
There is something that I'm watching
Means a lot to me
It's a broken benjo bobbing
On the dark infested sea
It's a broken benjo bobbing
On the dark infested sea
Means a lot to me
There's something that I'm watching
Means a lot to me
It's a broken benjo bobbing
On the dark infested sea
It's a broken benjo bobbing
On the dark infested sea
Don't know how it got there
Maybe taken by the wave
Don't know how it got there
Probably taken by the wave
Of the someones shoulder
Or out of someones grave
Of the someones shoulder
Or of the someones grave
No matter where I go
It's coming for me darling
No matter where I go
Its duty is to harm me
My duty is to know
Its duty is to harm me
My duty is to know
There is something that I'm watching
Means a lot to me
There is something that I'm watching
Means a lot to me
It's a broken benjo bobbing
On the dark infested sea
It's a broken benjo bobbing
On the dark infested sea

Could the broken banjo bobbing be music. The dark infested seas could be the music industry or the drug dealers or just all the hangers on. Their duty is to harm but the musicians duty is to know.
