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 gonna pay tomorrow
you will pay tomorrow
Chorus:
save me
save me from tomorrow
i don't want to sail in this ship of fools
save me
save me from tomorrow
i don't want to sail in this ship of fools
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 gonna pay tomorrow
you gonna pay tomorrow
(chorus)
Where's it coming from?
where's it going to?
it's just a ship of fools...
Here we go...
all aboard...
