Ship Of Fools

Famous disappearing act

Kills 'em every time

The willing subject sneaks out back

And leaves her space behind



Life is not a parlor trick

There's no slight of hand

Just tryin' to save the sinking ship

And there's no sight of land



We are all in the same boat, darlin'

On the same rough sea

We are all in the same boat, darlin'

The ship of fools it seems



There's no good news in the news

Only bad news papers

As black humor stands amused

At the plight of human nature



Still a lot of good in the world

No matter what they say

And when the darkness comes unfurled

There's a light that was built to stay



We are all in the same boat, darlin'

On the same rough sea

We are all in the same boat, darlin'

The ship of fools it seems



Optimists and realists

And cynics all agree

That we are all in this

Together whatever will be



Oh, we are all in the same boat, darlin'

On the same rough sea

We are all in the same boat, darlin'

The ship of fools it seems



We are all in the same boat, darlin'

On the same rough sea

We are all in the same boat, darlin'

The ship of fools it seems

The ship of fools it seems
