Karaoké Ship of Fools Bob Seger

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 somethin' else

I should know

Somethin' hidden down below

The level of your conversation

Well he turned away before the answer

Though I yelled aloud he refused to hear

It became too 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 evenin' light

To ask him would it be alright to join him

Well 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, a tireless host possessed us

The wind came buildin' from the cold northwest and soon the waves began to crest

Crashin' 'cross the forward deck

All hands lost

I alone survived the sinkin'

I alone possessed the tools

On that ship of fools

Ship of fools

On that ship of fools

That ship of fools
