| [00:24.60] |
If this is the end, then what was it all worth? |
| [00:28.18] |
Don't bother to ask, there's no price on this earth |
| [00:35.87] |
'Cause life's still a mystery |
| [00:37.84] |
You can't cost-benefit-analyse it |
| [00:42.21] |
And the hereafter's all in our minds |
| [00:44.87] |
Though we try to disguise it |
| [00:48.32] |
Still it shall be exciting to see the end of the show |
| [00:54.89] |
Abra-macabra, baby, here we go! |
| [00:56.89] |
|
| [01:22.64] |
"The Meaning of Life", well I don't really care |
| [01:26.17] |
Though this could be the last time we come up for air |
| [01:29.53] |
And maybe there's really no reason to stay |
| [01:33.17] |
Still I'll play you a shanty to brighten your day |
| [01:36.89] |
|
| [01:39.65] |
Quiet! When they pull the plug on this world all mechanic |
| [01:44.75] |
A dreamgig to play on the deck of this last Titanic |
| [01:50.11] |
I will dance on the gunwale, as the ship's going down |
| [01:55.31] |
I will write no solemn epitaphs |
| [01:58.58] |
For a world that's gone insane |
| [02:01.23] |
When there is no tomorrow, even then will I know |
| [02:06.80] |
That as long as the minstrels are playing |
| [02:09.96] |
All is not in vain |
| [02:11.89] |
|
| [02:14.29] |
Maybe the meaning was lost on the way |
| [02:18.37] |
Maybe we've anchored at the last bay |
| [02:21.83] |
But I will not lose spirit, though it may not be sound |
| [02:25.29] |
So crack open the barrels if we're really going down |
| [02:27.89] |
|
| [02:30.42] |
Riot! |
| [02:31.42] |
When the lights go out, law and order vanished |
| [02:37.14] |
They'll beg to be steered free |
| [02:38.87] |
By the mad sailor that they banished |
| [02:40.89] |
|
| [02:42.65] |
I will dance on the gunwale, as the ship's going down |
| [02:47.72] |
I will write no solemn epitaphs |
| [02:50.85] |
For a world that's gone insane |
| [02:53.48] |
When there is no tomorrow, even then will I know |
| [02:58.87] |
That as long as the minstrels are playing |
| [03:01.96] |
All is not in vain |
| [03:05.89] |
|
| [04:27.40] |
I will welcome the Gods in their chariots of war |
| [04:30.20] |
Stand up as they fire the first round |
| [04:32.58] |
I'll have peace of mind, when the new day will find |
| [04:35.52] |
Your carts and castles only dust on the ground |
| [04:38.50] |
And I'd be as dead as the rest and it would not mean a thing |
| [04:44.22] |
Misanthropoetica! Allow me this last fling |
| [04:48.89] |
|
| [05:00.87] |
Liar! Did they cry, freak, absurd and manic |
| [05:06.56] |
But when this ship turns upside down these rats will panic |
| [05:08.89] |
|
| [05:12.36] |
The weight of the world proved much too tough |
| [05:16.25] |
Just dragging myself along was more than enough |
| [05:24.44] |
But remember my words like marks from a whip |
| [05:28.30] |
This old salt will go down with his ship |
| [05:30.89] |
|
| [05:33.90] |
I will dance on the gunwale, as the ship's going down |
| [05:38.28] |
I will write no solemn epitaphs |
| [05:41.66] |
For a world that's gone insane |
| [05:43.89] |
|
| [05:44.27] |
I will dance on the gunwale, as the ship's going down |
| [05:49.65] |
I will write no solemn epitaphs |
| [05:52.80] |
For a world that's gone insane |
| [05:55.32] |
When there is no tomorrow, even then will I know |
| [06:00.87] |
That as long as the minstrels are playing |
| [06:04.24] |
All is not in vain |
