down with the ship

well it's been past four years since we went down in flames

in the mouth of the lion's den

while we held our heads

we held our breath

and one by one we lost our only friends

we traveled in fast company and kept up with the pace

but that's no guarantee that we could ever win this race

we don't ask for much

just a little to get by

enough to keep us grounded while the rest are getting high

and while we play hard

while we keep it real

search for water in this desert

we don't have to steal

we'll go down with the ship

the captain's of our destiny

we'll get on our way

with the wind against our backs

we'll go down with the ship

before we hand it over

said over and over

again

we don't have much longer before we say goodbye

they'll be time enough tomorrow to look me in the eye

while we play hard

while we keep it real

search for water in this desert we don't have to steal

those days are long gone over

and just a word to the wise

cuz if i never reach the end i sure have enjoyed the ride

we travel in fast company to keep up with this pace

there's one thing that i guarantee is that we'll win this race

we'll go down with the ship

the captain's of our destiny

we'll get on our way

with the wind against our backs

we'll go down with the ship

before we hand it over

said over and over and over and over

we'll go down with the ship

the captain's of our destiny

we'll get on our way

with the wind against our backs

we'll go down with the ship

before we hand it over

i said over and over

again

again

down with the ship
