Standing on the deck watching my shadow stretch |
|
The sun pours my shadow upon the deck |
|
The waters licking round my ankles now |
|
There ain't no sunshine way way down |
|
I see the sharks out in the water like slicks of ink |
|
Well, there's one there bigger than a submarine |
|
As he circles I look in his eye |
|
I see Jonah in his belly by the campfire light |
|
See the albatross up in the windy lofts |
|
He gets to beating his wings while he sleeps it off |
|
I hear the jettisoned cries from his dreams unkind |
|
Gets to whippin' my ears like a riding crop |
|
The captain once as able as a fink dandy |
|
He's now laid up in the galley like a dried out mink |
|
He's laying dying of thirst and he says or I think |
|
Well, we're gonna be alone from here on in |
|
Well you are all my brothers, and you have been kind |
|
But what were you expecting to find? |
|
Now your eyes turn inwards, countenance turns blank |
|
And I'm floating away on a barrel of pain |
|
It looks like nothing but the sea and sky remain |
|
Na na nana nananana na |
|
Na na nana nananana na |
|
Na na nana nananana na |
|
Na na nana nananana na |
|
A harpoon's shaft is short and wide |
|
A grappling hook's is cracked and dry |
|
I said, why don't you get down in the sea |
|
Turn the water red like you want to be? |
|
Cause if I cry another tear I'll be turned to dust |
|
No the sharks won't get me they don't feel loss |
|
Just keep one eye on the horizon man, you best not blink |
|
They're coming fin by fin until the whole boat sinks |
|
Fin by fin |
|
Fin by fin by fin by fin |
|
Fin by fin |
|
Fin by fin by fin by fin |
|
Na na nana nananana na |
|
Na na nana nananana na |
|
Na na nana nananana na |
|
Na na nana nananana na... |
