Standing on the deck I watch my shadow stretch
The sun pours my shadow upon that deck
The waters licking round my ankles now
There ain't no sunshine way way down
I see the sharks are in the water like slicks of ink
Well, there's one there bigger than a submarine
As he circles I look in his eye
I see Jonah in his belly by the campfire light
Oh, an albatross up in the windy lofts
He's beating his wings while he sleeps it off
I hear the jettisoned cries from his dreams unkind
Yeah they're whippin' my ears like a riding crop
The captain once as able as a fink dandy
He's now laid up in the galley like a dried out mink
He's laying dying of thirst and he says or I think
Well, we're gonna be alone from here on in
Well you're all my brothers, and you have been kind
But what were you expecting to find?
Now your eyes turn inwards, countenance turns blank
And I'm floating away on a barrel of pain
It looks like nothing but the sea and sky oh remain
I sing na na nana nananana na
Na na nana nananana na
(Na na's X 4)
A harpoon's shaft is short and wide
A grappling hook's is cracked and dry
I said, why don't you get down in the sea
Turn the water red like you want to be?
Cause if I cry another tear I'll be turned to dust
No the sharks won't get me they don't feel loss
Just keep one eye on the horizon man, you best not blink
They're coming fin by fin until the whole boat sinks
Fin by fin
Fin by fin
Fin by fin
Fin by fin by fin by fin
