Do you remember the night in the strange hotel Where nobody wanted to stay? Feeling ripped off, cut up, broken and tired At the end of another crazy day I saw a man in a suit pull a girl at the bar While she was giving the eye to his friend I drank another drink and I began to think I guess we're all gonna lose out in the end Don't you know we're riding on a dark ship? Heading out across the bay Calling on the captain, trying to find a better way Don't you know we're riding on a dark ship? Heading out across the bay To find a better way Better way Well, I remember the drive in the midday fog Heading up the northern road Just a-wondering who and why and where and how We picked up this God-Almighty load She said "I realize, oh, that I'm not the one That you wanted from the very start" I said "Well, that's alright, just let me show you tonight How to open up your frightened, trembling heart" Hey, don't you know we're riding on a dark ship? Heading out across the bay Calling on the captain, trying to find a better way Don't you know we're riding on a dark ship? Heading out across the bay To find a better way Better way There are warriors, there are gambling men Crazy dreamers in this life And each and every one, every mother's son Is just a-walking on the edge of the knife Looking for reasons, searching for truth A little comfort deep in the night Just trying any way to make another day Hoping something somewhere's gonna turn out right Hey, 'cause don't you know we're riding on a dark ship? Heading out across the bay Calling on the captain, trying to find a better way Don't you know we're riding on a dark ship? Heading out across the bay To find a better way Better way Better way Better way Don't you know we're riding on a dark ship? Riding on a dark ship
