| I saw secret cards
|
| I know where we are going.
|
| Captain, I came to say goodbye to you, to you
|
| And your ship.
|
| I went down into the hold,
|
| I talked there
|
| With the master - the head of the rats.
|
| Rats go ashore
|
| At the nearest port
|
| In hope of being saved.
|
| An orchestra is playing on the upper deck,
|
| And the couples dance the foxtrot
|
| Steward pours fire into glasses
|
| And watch the ice melt.
|
| He looks at the dancers who have forgotten
|
| That every one of them will die.
|
| Chorus:
|
| But no one wants to even think about
|
| While the Titanic is sailing.
|
| Nobody wants to think about
|
| Bye, bye, the Titanic is sailing.
|
| Losing.
|
| The sailors sold the screw to the Eskimos for a barrel of wine,
|
| And the judge and the priest argue all night,
|
| Finding out whose fault it is.
|
| And the judge says that it's all about the Law,
|
| And the priest - what a matter of love.
|
| But in the light of lightning it becomes clear -
|
| Everyone has blood on their hands.
|
| Chorus:
|
| But no one wants to even think about
|
| While the Titanic is sailing.
|
| Nobody wants to think about
|
| Bye, bye, the Titanic is sailing.
|
| I saw sharks astern
|
| Sharks swallow saliva
|
| Captain, all sharks are aware
|
| That we will soon go to the bottom.
|
| Ahead rises a cold wall
|
| Arctic ice.
|
| Chorus:
|
| But no one wants to even think about
|
| Where is the Titanic sailing?
|
| Nobody wants to think about
|
| Bye, bye, the Titanic is sailing. |
