ship of fools - pert near sandstone lyrics

ship of fools lyrics
[verse]
there’s danger on the water
there’s danger all aboard
if you want to make it home
don’t even leave the shore
think of your darling baby
think of your lovely wife
come h*ll or high water
that ship will take your life

[verse]
carrying no cargo
but madness and disease
you won’t know when it’s coming
but it’ll never leave
the sea will throw a sickening foam
the tide will be running red
you can keep your secrets
but the fool knows where they’re hid

[chorus]
sail away on that ship of sin
one more soul upon this boat
and we’ll be sinking in
this world it has forsaken me
and led me far astray
it’s put me on this ship of fools
to slowly float away
[verse]
the ship has got your number
it makes you heave and cringe
from the morning you were born
this whole voyage is a binge
there’s meat to eat and booze to drink
i know my portion well
when i’ve finally had my fill
i’m going straight to h*ll

[verse]
there’s no salvation for company of this sort
the wind is dead, the sea is bleak
the stars do not report
bones they do not float
dead flesh it cannot swim
to darker days in a darker place
this demon ark is drifting

[chorus]

[verse]
this bitter ship of fools
is a blind man’s only guide
there is no moral compass
or laws to abide
sailing through misery
haunted by the past
headed for disaster with every
breeze that hits the mast
[verse]
children scream in terror
harbors close their ports
families hide deep in their homes
behind shutters and doors
sailors gawk and seagulls flock
no one can help but stare
to babylon we’re sailing
but we’re already there

[chorus]
