Ship of Fools
...
We're setting sail
To the place on the map
From which no-one has ever returned
Drawn by the promise
Of the joker and the fool
And by the light of the crosses that burn
Drawn by the promise of the women and the lace
And the gold and the cotton and pearls
It's the place where they keep
All the darkness that you need
You sail away from the light of the world
On this trip, baby
You will pay tomorrow
You're gonna pay tomorrow
You're gonna pay tomorrow
Whoa-o-o
Save me
Save me from tomorrow
I don't want to sail with a ship of fools
Whoa-o-o
Save me
Save me from tomorrow
I don't want to sail with a ship of fools
I wanna run and hide right now
Avarice and greed
Are gonna drive you over the endless sea
They will leave you drifting in the shallows
Drowning in the oceans of history
They're travelling the world
You're in search of no good
But I'm sure you'll build your Sodom
Like I knew you would
Using all the good people
For your galley slaves
As your little boat struggles through the warning waves
But you will pay
You will pay tomorrow
You're gonna pay tomorrow
You're gonna pay tomorrow
Whoa-o-o
Save me
Save me from tomorrow
I don't want to sail with a ship of fools
Whoa-o-o
Save me
Save me from tomorrow
I don't want to sail with a ship of fools
Where's it coming from?
Where's it going to now?
It's just a ship of fools!
Do do do do do do do
Do do do do do do do
Do do do do do do do
We're setting sail
To the place on the map
From which no-one has ever returned
Drawn by the promise
Of the joker and the fool
And by the light of the crosses that burn
Drawn by the promise of the women and the lace
And the gold and the cotton and pearls
It's the place where they keep
All the darkness that you need
You sail away from the light of the world
On this trip, baby
You will pay tomorrow
You're gonna pay tomorrow
You're gonna pay tomorrow
Whoa-o-o
Save me
Save me from tomorrow
I don't want to sail with a ship of fools
Whoa-o-o
Save me
Save me from tomorrow
I don't want to sail with a ship of fools
I wanna run and hide right now
Avarice and greed
Are gonna drive you over the endless sea
They will leave you drifting in the shallows
Drowning in the oceans of history
They're travelling the world
You're in search of no good
But I'm sure you'll build your Sodom
Like I knew you would
Using all the good people
For your galley slaves
As your little boat struggles through the warning waves
But you will pay
You will pay tomorrow
You're gonna pay tomorrow
You're gonna pay tomorrow
Whoa-o-o
Save me
Save me from tomorrow
I don't want to sail with a ship of fools
Whoa-o-o
Save me
Save me from tomorrow
I don't want to sail with a ship of fools
Where's it coming from?
Where's it going to now?
It's just a ship of fools!
Do do do do do do do
Do do do do do do do
Do do do do do do do
