Ship of Fools

Lyrics

We're setting sail
 To the place on the map
 From which no one has ever returned
 Drawn by the promise of the joker and the fool
 By the light of the crosses that burn
 Drawn by the promise of the women and the lace
 And the gold and the cotton and pearls
 It's the place where they keep all the darkness you need
 You sail away from the light of the world
 On this trip, baby
 You will pay tomorrow
 You're gonna pay tomorrow, yeah
 You will pay tomorrow
 Save me
 Save me from tomorrow
 I don't want to sail with this ship of fools, no, no, no
 Oh, save me
 Save me from tomorrow
 I don't want to sail with this ship of fools, no, no, no
 I want to run and hide
 Right now
 Avarice and greed
 Are gonna drive you over the endless sea
 They will leave you drifting in the shallows
 Or drowning in the oceans of history
 Traveling the world, you're in search of no good
 But I'm sure you'll build your Sodom, like you knew you would
 Using all the good people for your galley slaves
 As your little boat struggles through the warning waves
 But you don't pay
 You will pay tomorrow
 You're gonna pay tomorrow, yeah
 You gonna pay tomorrow
 Save me
 Save me from tomorrow
 I don't want to sail with this ship of fools, no, no, no, no
 Oh, save me
 Save me from tomorrow
 I don't want to sail with this ship of fools, no, no, no, no
 Where's it coming from?
 Oh, where's it going to?
 It's just a
 It's just a ship of fools
 Here we go
 All aboard
