[Verse 1:]
|
Welcome to my ghost ship,
|
The one I resurrected like the Black Pearl
|
And had it stay afloat in
|
And from the day I boarded on this vessel
|
I feel as though I've done a lap of every single ocean
|
And the seven seas too, but I got the wind on my sails and a good crew
|
Of men who grew up in the same neighborhood I knew
|
And I will turn to sail to where the sky's forever blue.
|
Along the way I learned of lives I never knew
|
And I can't shut my mouth, who am I to hide the truth
|
But really, who am I, just a navigator
|
Guided by the north star and now my time is due
|
I'll keep floating down the river till you see a pale figure roll up saying how'd you do
|
I'm like Columbus with the compass
|
So let me move.
|
|
[Hook:]
|
I've been rowing down the river so long
|
And I don't even know where I belong
|
It's hard to find the right life in this song
|
It's like my head feels tired but my heart's still strong.
|
As life goes on, the river takes me different places,
|
The fight goes on,
|
This ship's lowering it's anchors,
|
Cause I've been rolling down this river so long.
|
So long, so long, I've been rolling down this river so long
|
So long, so long, I've been rolling down this river so long.
|
So long, so long, I've been rolling down this river so long.
|
So long, so long, I've been rolling down this river so long.
|
|
[Verse 2:]
|
I started in a raft, I made into a craft,
|
Then I was gone at the rasing of the mast,
|
I've seen pain behind my craft,
|
Cross paths and I see your ship alike like the Cutty Sark
|
In the woods where the pirates throw
|
In the water where the pirates dwell
|
I never justify the odds I defied myself,
|
I said I'll never make this, horrible scenario, shape shift, yeah
|
And all my crews got a few stars like a Orion's Belt
|
We make the pilgrimage here upon a river full of tears that were taken from lost souls
|
Left to cry in hell, a cry for help,
|
Is what this started as, but now my life's sick like the psychotic pitbull it's barking mad
|
How I came from nothing, now I control the water ways your barge is banned
|
|
[Hook:]
|
I've been rowing down the river so long
|
And I don't even know where I belong
|
It's hard to find the right life in this song
|
It's like my head feels tired but my heart's still strong.
|
As life goes on, the river takes me different places,
|
The fight goes on,
|
This ship's lowering it's anchors,
|
Cause I've been rolling down this river so long.
|
So long, so long, I've been rolling down this river so long
|
So long, so long, I've been rolling down this river so long.
|
So long, so long, I've been rolling down this river so long.
|
So long, so long, I've been rolling down this river so long.
|
|
[Verse 3:]
|
My mum gave birth south of the Thames,
|
Then I float down to this ghost town, now I call my ends
|
Where a county starts and the city ends
|
And I learned to be careful when you're picking friends
|
Between the few men we had to build a boat
|
Lie it low, just to keep the dream afloat,
|
A lot of people thought that it was washed up,
|
Hence the reason why they looked like they've seen a ghost
|
Call me Brook, call me Black Beard or Davy Jones,
|
One captain that will send your whole navy home
|
And I will never rest with my skeleton
|
Therefore it's relevant you'll never call me lazy bones.
|
So welcome to my ghostship
|
That has promised me the one day it'll free my soul
|
So when the tide comes in upon the beat you know who knows
|
You know you might get to read my scrolls
|
|
[Hook:]
|
I've been rowing down the river so long
|
And I don't even know where I belong
|
It's hard to find the right life in this song
|
It's like my head feels tired but my heart's still strong.
|
As life goes on, the river takes me different places,
|
The fight goes on,
|
This ship's lowering it's anchors,
|
Cause I've been rolling down this river so long.
|
So long, so long, I've been rolling down this river so long
|
So long, so long, I've been rolling down this river so long.
|
So long, so long, I've been rolling down this river so long.
|
So long, so long, I've been rolling down this river so long.
