lyrics

The Sailor:
we were on a ship
no one thought we'd get away with it
but the old woman in the back of the hold said
the one thing to remember of the stories she told is I'm sunk
we're all sunk

The Lover:
Would you just make up your mind? I'm tired of your ins and outs
This ship is going down and if we do not take the wheel -
You'll get sunk, I'll get sunk, I'm getting sunk, I'm getting sunk
The situation's blown up out of my head
More than his, more than yours, come on, we're only kids now
I'll be there for you, to be your little boy toy,
To add to your collection forget about protection,
Too late, feelings hurt, people hating, hearts are breaking,
You know the things you have done have left me nothing but this aching

The Caleb:
I thought that we were on a voyage of destiny
I thought that this was gonna end for the best for me
Not even a reason, not a par for the course,
Just for striving and thriving and driving on this horse
One, two, three, four, take the elevator
We're tripping into hell while singing "Hello Operator"
I got nothing but the circumstances,
I'm out of chances, out of rants, and I'm running out of dances, come on

The Captain:
And it's been years since myself I have feared,
And I don't have to die, people will remember that I tried and lie that some God saved my life,
That my course veered to right
But we both know that the fates can lie

Show me my tapestry, I'll sew over the man you want to see,
Make you believe in me again, make you believe in anything again

The Sailor:
You know they should give out awards for terrible decisions, we could all be the winners
They tell tales of treasures taken, tools to tantalize,
Treacherous travesty tangible tragedy totally gone
And the crowd screams "Violence violence"
Clean the blood out your teeth, it's banquet
I'm so untied from my experience,
I guess what I said is not what I meant
But I'm a fox, you try to put me in a box, well take me out of the box and I'm still a fox
I've never been to the school of hard knocks, but
I can tell you haven't either so just shut your mouth and take me to the docks
