Ship Of Fools |
| Way of an eagle in the air |
| The way of a serpent upon a rock |
| The way of a ship in the midst of the sea |
| Way of a man with a maid |
| The way of a man with a maid |
| Chains of strength, chains of fear |
| Marking words in Satan? |
| s ear |
| The manger whips, the nursemaid lies |
| Chains that launch the ship of sighs |
| Child sun, baby moon |
| Pass a failed hope or a failed love soon |
| Windward burning boats (ah ship of fools) |
| Slitting throats |
| Hopeless and gazing |
| Child head, baby brain |
| On the slipway, bluffed again |
| Your tide is out, your blinds, (ah ship of fools) |
| Your blinds are drawn |
| Sailor fools are born |
| Sound the foghorn horns |
| Screaming siren scorns |
| Petrify the human pawns |
| Child deranged, galactic fault |
| The arc lights burned, the squadrons halt |
| Baby breathes the gale and tastes the salt |
| Alarmed and cowering |
| Child tenor, baby crooner |
| Tripping double time onboard the schooner |
| Blows the whistle, sucks (ah ship of fools) |
| Sucks the Crisis pipe |
| For a lifelong passage |
| Sound the foghorn horns |
| Screaming siren scorns |
| Petrify the human pawns |
| Child skipper, baby mate |
| Ship of fools becomes the ship of fate |
| While gospel singers cool, (ah ship of fools) |
| Cool the panic struck |
| Forced and bitter luck |
| Child cry, baby sleep |
| My cabin is yesterday, my crater deep |
| On deck the captain scans, (ah ship of fools) |
| Scans the x-ray card |
| We need a metal surgeon |
| Sound the foghorn horns |
| Screaming siren scorns |
| Petrify the human pawns |
| Child steals, baby seeks |
| Travels miles and lifeless weeks |
| And turns the coverlet and shakes, (ah ship of fools) |
| And shakes the sheets |
| They? |
| re only learning |
| Child chokes, baby dies |
| Fetid rumors, human cries |
| Transparent fighters (ah ship of fools) |
| Fly the transient skies |
| A hard coming we had and a harder going |
