Lyrics

[Verse 1]
The human race was dyin' out
No one left to scream and shout
People walking on the moon
Smog will get you pretty soon
[Verse 2]
Everyone was hanging out
Hanging up and hanging down
Hanging in and holding fast
Hope our little world will last
[Verse 3]
Yeah, along came Mr. Goodtrips
Looking for a new ship
Come on people, better climb on board
Come on baby, now we're going home
Ship of fools, ship of fools
[Verse 4]
The human race was dyin' out
No one left to scream and shout
People walking on the moon
Smog gonna get you pretty soon
[Verse 5]
Ship of fools, ship of fools
Ship of fools, ship of fools
Ship of fools, ship of fools
[Verse 6]
Yeah, climb on board now
The ship's gonna leave you all far behind
I got climb on board, yeah
[Verse 7]
Ship of fools, ship of fools
Ship of fools, ship of fools
Written by: Jim Morrison, Robby Krieger
