Stars are falling in the ocean there's a crack upon the moon
I can see all the commotion as the ship comes out of gloom
They're dancing on lifeboats like a Sunday afternoon
As the sirens are ringing out the night
She met me in her boudoir I cannot tell you why
Perhaps I'm just modest or perhaps that I'm just shy
But the skeletons in her closet wouldn't close their eyes
They were turning white from all the fright
And the lies you've been spreading
Are breaking all the rules
And the thoughts that you're selling
Is an offer we can't refuse
Dictating who's choosing
The captain of this ship of fools
Baby I don't want to loose you
But I just can't stay on this ship of fools
Baby I don't want to loose you
But I just can't stay on this ship of fools
The rudder is broken sails are tattered in shreds
Someone cut the pieces just to feather their beds
Now the wind is blowing through the space in their heads
As the ship flounders in the night
She took me by the hand then took me by the arm
Told me that the ocean was so gentle and calm
The rocks in the water wouldn't do me any harm
And the vultures were just seagulls in flight
And the lies you've been spreading
Are breaking all the rules
And the thoughts that you're selling
Is an offer we can't refuse
Dictating who's choosing
The captain of this ship of fools
Baby I don't want to loose you
But I just can't stay on this ship of fools
Baby I don't want to loose you
But I just can't stay on this ship of fools
The bridge is on fire and the cabins ablaze
The officer in charge is terminally insane
Telling the passengers this is only just a phase
While the ship is sinking in the night
She was singing a medley she was singing a hymn
It may have been strange and it might have been a sin
Now the end is in sight I know just where to begin
So say goodbye and turn out the light
And the lies you've been spreading
Are breaking all the rules
And the thoughts that you're selling
Is an offer we can't refuse
Dictating who's choosing
The captain of this ship of fools
Baby I don't want to loose you
But I just can't stay on this ship of fools
Baby I don't want to loose you
But I just can't stay on this ship of fools
