well sweetness, I love it when you wrap me up
|
I'm a drowning man for the third time
|
twenty-one gun salute in your flag of mercy
|
preparing my body for a burial at sea
|
|
so put your tongue in my ear
|
through this veil of tears
|
whisper what's gone wrong? gone wrong?
|
the world, the world she's a Babylon
|
|
coming in from the coast it's a bad nor'easter
|
waves banging rocks with migraine vengeance
|
build up the tower, unlocking the secrets
|
the pride of man is so contentious
|
|
<chorus>
|
|
this is no pleasure cruise in the South Pacific
|
I'm bailing ice water up to my neck
|
Titanic's captain said that God couldn't sink her
|
you might say he learned a healthy respect
|
|
<chorus>
