lyrics

Twisting away from the dream
I am listing on the belly of the sea
Stretching over the depths
Was the dance of the dead
Emperor, laborer, the pope and king

"You flounder, you've all the latitude
Of a downer," spat the king with attitude
"Kid, you're nothing but lost,
A societal cost,
Now be off, I'd rather not be caught dead with you!"

We agree this ship's gonna sink
Let's take a vote see what everybody thinks
Say, kid isn't this living?
Just don't rock the boat, man, it's the same one that I'm in!

Cursing the sweat upon his brow
Only circling, the worker sputtered out
"My advice? For your health,
Keep your help to yourself"
In the drum of the sun he swung around and round

Cloudless, not a whisper in the sail
Hours countless, the holy man wailed,
"Let a thousand more sink,
Lord, it's their own doing"
And he went on lamenting 'til the sky turned pale

We agree this ship's gonna sink
Oh, it's gonna sink
Let's take a vote see what everybody thinks
Say, kid isn't this living?
Just don't rock the boat, man it's the same one that I'm in!

"Silence! How can you deny the breeze?"
Said the tyrant "A little rest is all we need!"
But his voice was the lead
As he sank into bed
And the ship buoyed helpless on the open sea

We agree this ship's gonna sink
Oh, it's gonna sink
Let's take a vote see what everybody thinks
What everybody thinks
Say, kid isn't this living?
Just don't rock the boat, man, just don't rock the boat
Said hey kid, isn't this living?
Just don't rock the boat man it's the same one that I'm in
Over my head
With the dance of the dead
Emperor, laborer, the pope and king
