The Ship is Going down

Bow...bow... bow
To the stolen alibis
Never noticed a winking eye
Dressed to the nines
You wore a brilliant disguise
You fooled so many minds

Star board and port
Bilge water on the float
SOS is a stammering call
The ship is going down
So play the final song

Aft...aft...aft
Don't let them take it back
Black eyes like pandas
Red shoes like clowns
Blood rings connect
a circle of nine

Star board and port
Bilge water on the float
SOS is a stammering call
The ship is going down
So play the final song
