Aurelio Voltaire - This Ship’s Going Down lyrics
Will the ocean to enter allow
Oh, what more of a sin than letting it in?
It's letting our good fortune out
The nest to the storm did succumb
While the crow hid his fear in the rum
And the mast
It broke and threw out the bloke
And well, now he's surely my chum
Love letters from under his bed
Holds a cabin boy over his head
A futile try to keep it dry
What tears have already wet
They were penned by a girl in Merak
And the Javanese value their tact
She'll conclude he's horribly rude
'Cause he's sure as hell not writing back
'Cause this ship's going down
All on account of the weather
Though we'll drown
There's no need to frown
'Cause we're all going together
And I won't say "Woe is me"
As I disappear into the sea
'Cause I'm in good company
As we're all going together
I've had women of every kind
But the only one truly was mine
Is the one at home who'll be alone
When I am full-up with brine
For my son I had always a plan
For to raise him as best as I can
Oh well, you can bet my only regret
Is to not see him grow to a man
'Cause this ship's going down
All on account of the weather
Though we'll drown
There's no need to frown
'Cause we're all going together
And I won't say "Woe is me"
As I disappear into the sea
'Cause I'm in good company
As we're all going together
I was sinking down into the brine
When a curious sight caught my eye
Seaman Shaft had found him a raft
And was making a speedy goodbye
At the risk of sounding absurd
I have always been good as my word
So a fish-gig, I lanced into his eye
And I knocked his ass overboard
'Cause this ship's going down
All on account of the weather
Though we'll drown
There's no need to frown
'Cause we're all going together
And I won't say "Woe is me"
As I disappear into the sea
'Cause I'm in good company
As we're all going together
'Cause this ship's going down
All on account of the weather
Though we'll drown
There's no need to frown
'Cause we're all going together
And I won't say "Woe is me"
As I disappear into the sea oh, hell!
'Cause you've all been so good to me
So we're all going together!
