Went to see the captain, strangest I could find,
Laid my proposition down, laid it on the line.
I wont slave for beggars pay, likewise gold and jewels,
But I would slave to learn the way to sink your
ship of
fools.
Ship of
fools on a cruel sea,
ship of
fools sail away from me.
It was later than I thought when I first believed you,
Now I cannot share your laughter,
ship of
fools.
Saw your first
ship sink and drown, from rockin of the boat,
And all that could not sink or swim was just left there to float.
I wont leave you drifting down, but woh it makes me wild,
With thirty years upon my head to have you call me child.
Ship of
fools on a cruel sea,
ship of
fools sail away from me.
It was later than I thought when I first believed you,
Now I cannot share your laughter,
ship of
fools.
The bottles stand as empty, as they were filled before.
Time there was and plenty, but from that cup no more.
Though I could not caution all, I still might warn a few:
Dont lend your hand to raise no flag atop no
ship of
fools.
Ship of
fools on a cruel sea,
ship of
fools sail away from me.
It was later than I thought, when I first believed you,
Now I cannot share your laughter,
ship of
fools.
It was later than I thought when I first believed you,
Now I cannot share your laughter,
ship of
fools.
