Lyrics

[Verse 1]
She said I will never sail another ocean
I will never sail another ocean
Oh, without a decent stake
On the net, on the net, on the net
I will never sail another ocean
I will never sail another ocean
Oh, without a decent stake
On your head, on your head, on your head
[PreChorus]
'Cause there's rats on the floor
Rot in the boards, rips in the sails
Knots in the ropes that weren't there before
Is there anybody out there anymore?
Is there anybody out there anymore?
[Chorus]
Sailor, stop and see
Fire on the horizon
As you're raging across the sea
Baby, take my hand
You're out there chasing big fish
While I'm out here chasing sunsets, oh
[PostChorus]
Da, da-da, da, da-da, da, da
Chasing sunsets, oh
Da, da-da, da, da-da, da, da
Da-da, da, da
[Verse 2]
He said I have never cared for the commotion
I have never cared for the commotion
Oh, the irony of that
You need a medal just to get out of bed
You need a medal just to get out of bed
You have never sailed a mile for yourself
You have never sailed a mile for yourself
Oh, but for the promise of a crown
On your head, on your head, on your head
[PreChorus]
'Cause there's rats on the floor
Rot in the boards, rips in the sails
Knots in the ropes that weren't there before
Is there anybody out there anymore?
Is there anybody out there anymore?
[Chorus]
Sailor, come with me
I might not make you feel good
But I will make you feel something
Baby, take my hand
You're out there chasing big fish
While I'm out here chasing sunsets, oh
[PostChorus]
Da, da-da, da, da-da, da, da
Chasing sunsets, oh
Da, da-da, da, da-da, da, da
Da-da da da
[Outro]
'Cause there's rats on the floor
Rot in the boards, rips in the sails
Knots in the ropes that weren't there before
Is there anybody out there anymore?
Is there anybody out there anymore?
