Dark Ship

Do you remember the night in the strange hotel
Where nobody wanted to stay?
Feeling ripped off, cut up, broken and tired
At the end of another crazy day

I saw a man in a suit pull a girl at the bar
While she was giving the eye to his friend
I drank another drink and I began to think
I guess we're all gonna lose out in the end

Don't you know we're riding on a dark ship?
Heading out across the bay
Calling on the captain, trying to find a better way
Don't you know we're riding on a dark ship?
Heading out across the bay
To find a better way
Better way

Well, I remember the drive in the midday fog
Heading up the northern road
Just a-wondering who and why and where and how
We picked up this God-Almighty load

She said "I realize, oh, that I'm not the one
That you wanted from the very start"
I said "Well, that's alright, just let me show you tonight
How to open up your frightened, trembling heart"

Hey, don't you know we're riding on a dark ship?
Heading out across the bay
Calling on the captain, trying to find a better way
Don't you know we're riding on a dark ship?
Heading out across the bay
To find a better way
Better way

There are warriors, there are gambling men
Crazy dreamers in this life
And each and every one, every mother's son
Is just a-walking on the edge of the knife

Looking for reasons, searching for truth
A little comfort deep in the night
Just trying any way to make another day
Hoping something somewhere's gonna turn out right

Hey, 'cause don't you know we're riding on a dark ship?
Heading out across the bay
Calling on the captain, trying to find a better way
Don't you know we're riding on a dark ship?
Heading out across the bay
To find a better way
Better way
Better way
Better way
Don't you know we're riding on a dark ship?
Riding on a dark ship
