Sea Shanty |
Repair the hull, replace the sails |
The monkey wrestles with the ghost |
And a thousand little pleasures form a thin veneer |
Over lack of hope |
The captain was rightly murdered by the crew |
But now they don’t know what to do |
Drifting on the murky Sargasso of the everyday |
Work and slave and skimp and save |
And you can buy yourself a bigger cage |
And a thousand little cruelties we agree to pretend to ignore |
The ghost has got the monkey by the tail |
And all they both can do is wail |
And you and I go drifting by the abandoned vessels of the everyday |
