Aurelio Voltaire - This Ship's Going Down lyrics

A gargantuan hole in the bow Will the ocean to enter allow Oh what's more of a sin than letting it in? It's letting our good fortune out The nest to the storm did succumb While the crow hid his fear in the rum And the mast it broke and threw out the bloke And well now he's surely my chum Love letters from under his bed Holds a cabin boy over his head A futile try to keep it dry what tears have already wet They were pinned by a girl in Merak And the Javanese value their tact She'll conclude he's horribly rude Cause he's sure as hell not writing back Because this ship's going down All on account of the whether Though we'll drown There's no need to frown Cause we're all going together And I won't say "Woe is me" As I disappear into the sea Cause I'm in good company As we're all going together I've had women of every kind But the only one truly was mine Is the one at home who'll be alone When I am full-up with brine For my son I had always a plan For to raise him as best as I can Oh well you can bet My only regret is to not see him grow to a man Cause this ship's going down All on account of the weather Though we'll drown There's no need to frown Cause we're all going together And I won't say "Woe is me" As I disappear into the sea Cause I'm in good company As we're all going together I was sinking down into the brine When a curious sight caught my eye Seaman Shaft had found him a raft And was makin' a speedy goodbye At the risk of sounding absurd I have always been good as my word So a fish-gig, I, lanced into his eye And I knocked his a** overboard! Cause this ship's going down All on account of the weather Though we'll drown There's no need to frown Cause we're all going together And I won't say "Woe is me" As I disappear into the sea Oh hell! Cause you've all been so good to me So we're all going together
