Lyrics

"Tell me quick", said Old McFee
"What's this all have to do with me?
I've spent all my time at sea, a loner"
"Is there something else I should know?
Something hidden down below
The level of your conversation?"
Well, he turned away before the answer
Though I yelled aloud, he refused to hear
It became too clear

So it went, as we put out
I was left in constant doubt
Everything I asked about seemed private
The captain strolled the bridge one night
I stopped him in the evening light
To ask him, would it be all right to join him?
Well, he stood there like some idol
And he listened like some temple
And then he turned away

All along the fateful coast
We moved silent like a ghost
The timeless sea, a tireless host possessed us
The wind came building from the cold northwest
And soon the waves began to crest
Crashing 'cross the forward deck, all hands lost
I alone survived the sinking
I alone possessed the tools
On that ship of fools

Ship of fools
On that ship of fools
That ship of fools
