Lyrics

You got lost at sea,
The captain took his keys
And jumped into a life-boat
And left you at the wheel
There's a storm comin' your way
And you can't even pray.
The gods laid down their judgement and left you no appeal.

Oh, When your ship goes down
Where you gonna run to?
When the ship goes down
What's it gonna be?
When the ship goes down
Who you holdin' on to now?
That you're sinkin' down into the deep blue sea.

You said you'd never drown
But the ship is goin' down
And no matter what you think
It's the ocean who decides
You're hangin' by a thread
Let go and you'll be dead
And you'll sink down into the bottom
In the ocean of time.

Oh, When your ship goes down
Where you gonna run to?
When the ship goes down
What's it gonna be?
When the ship goes down
Who you holdin' on to now?
That you're sinkin' down into the deep blue sea.

You think of every excuse
But you're runnin' out of juice
And nobody's gonna cut you slack
So there ain't turnin' back to your childhood screams
Back to your get-rich schemes
Back to when you could do no wrong.

Now the storm has raged enough
And it's time for cleanin' up
You don't have that much time
Before the gods come back for more
You can see the widowed bride
And you have to decide
If you're gonna pick up the pieces
Or leave them by the shore.

Oh, When your ship goes down
Where you gonna run to?
When the ship goes down
What's it gonna be?
When the ship goes down
Who you holdin' on to now?
That you're sinkin' down into the deep blue sea.
