Bob Seger Lyrics for Song: Ship Of Fools
 Lyrics for Album: Night Moves [1976]
 
 
 
 29405>"Tell me quick" said Old McFee
 
 "What's this all have to do with me?"
 
 "I've spent all my time at sea a loner."
 
 "Is there something else I should know?"
 
 "Something hidden down below the level of your conversation?"
 
 We he turned away before the answer
 
 Though I yelled aloud he refused to hear
 
 It became to clear
 
 So it went as we put out
 
 I was left in constant doubt
 
 Everything I asked about seemed private
 
 The captain strolled the bridge one night
 
 I stopped him in the evening light
 
 To ask him would it be all right to join him
 
 
 
 But he stood there like some idol
 
 And he listened like some temple
 
 And then he turned away
 
 All along the fateful coast
 
 We moved silent like a ghost
 
 The timeless sea of tireless host possessed us
 
 The wind came building from the cold northwest
 
 And soon the waves began to crest
 
 Crashing cross the forward deck
 
 All hands lost
 
 I alone survived the sinking
 
 I alone possessed the tools
 
 On that ship of fools
