The captain knows he's hauling too much gold
We told him so.
Now down to the depths we go!
There is a ship, on the ocean,
Tossing you and I to and fro.
We're lost in this dark bitter water,
Just trying to keep our heads up.
The captain knows he's hauling too much gold
We told him so.
Now down to the depths we go!
Chorus:
Now we're sitting here, waiting on the port side of hell
While we're staring down the barrel of a dark steel well
Can we sink *ourselves just to sleep for a spell?*
As we go down there is something I need to say:
My life may have been wasted, but don't waste away with me!
The captain knows he's hauling too much gold
We told him so.
Now down to the depths we go!
The story's old,
And these old bones grow cold
And some things you don't know.
Chorus:
Now we're sitting here, waiting on the port side of hell
While we're staring down the barrel of a dark steel well
Can we sink ourselves just to sleep for a spell?
While we're staring down the barrel of a dark steel well
Just to sleep a spell.
We told him so.
Now down to the depths we go!
There is a ship, on the ocean,
Tossing you and I to and fro.
We're lost in this dark bitter water,
Just trying to keep our heads up.
The captain knows he's hauling too much gold
We told him so.
Now down to the depths we go!
Chorus:
Now we're sitting here, waiting on the port side of hell
While we're staring down the barrel of a dark steel well
Can we sink *ourselves just to sleep for a spell?*
As we go down there is something I need to say:
My life may have been wasted, but don't waste away with me!
The captain knows he's hauling too much gold
We told him so.
Now down to the depths we go!
The story's old,
And these old bones grow cold
And some things you don't know.
Chorus:
Now we're sitting here, waiting on the port side of hell
While we're staring down the barrel of a dark steel well
Can we sink ourselves just to sleep for a spell?
While we're staring down the barrel of a dark steel well
Just to sleep a spell.
