Ship of Fools Songtext
von Jeff Russo & Noah Hawley

We′re setting sail to the place on the map
From which no one has ever returned
Drawn by the promise of the joker and the thief
By the light of the crosses that burn

Drawn by the promise of the women and the lace
By the gold and the cotton and pearls
It's the place where they keep all the darkness you need
You sail away from the light of the world on this trip, baby

We′re setting sail to the place on the map
From which no one has ever returned
Drawn by the promise of the joker and the thief
By the light of the crosses that burn

Drawn by the promise of the women and the lace
By the gold and the cotton and pearls
It's the place where they keep all the darkness you need
You sail away from the light of the world on this trip, baby

You will pay tomorrow
You're gonna pay tomorrow
You will pay tomorrow


Save me, save me from tomorrow
I don′t want to sail in this ship of fools
Oh, save me, save me from tomorrow
I don′t want to sail with this ship of fools

I want to run and hide, right now

No, no, no, no, no

Avarice and greed are gonna drive you over the endless sea
They will leave you drifting in the shallows
Drowning in the oceans of history

Travelling the world, you're up to search of no good
But I′m sure you'll build your Sodom, like you knew you would
Using all the good people for your galley slaves
As your little boat flounders through the warning waves

But you don′t pay
You will pay tomorrow
You're gonna pay tomorrow, yeah
You will pay tomorrow

Save me, save me from tomorrow
I don′t want to sail in this ship of fools
Oh, save me, save me from tomorrow
I don't want to sail in this ship of fools


Where's it coming from
Or where′s it going to?
It′s just a, it's just a ship of fools
