Not waiting for the words to come around

In this small tobacco town

And I'm hating every second of this shit

I'm far too involved to quit

But the radio keeps playing on and on

On and on and on


What in the world were you thinking?

This ship we're sinking is going down

And the water we're drinking on

Too much to bail, too much to bail out


Captain, captain!

Please save me, save me!

The neatest _ire up for hire

And the drunken liars make me want to scream


And I'm jaded by the ones who mean the most

But I'm talking to your ghost

And I'm fading like all the lies you put up with

And the table starts to shift

But the one I love is moving on and on


What in the world were you thinking?

This ship we're sinking is going down

And the water we're drinking on

Too much to bail, too much to bail out


Captain, captain!

Please save me, save me!

Down to the wire I admire

This talk is tired

It makes me want to see inside her, smoke and fire


What in the world were you thinking?

This ship we're sinking is going down

And the water we're drinking on

Too much to bail, too much to bail out


What in the world were you thinking?

This ship we're sinking is going down

And the water we're drinking on

Too much to bail, too much to bail out


I'm sitting on the sidelines

Waiting for the right time

For someone to come and carry me home

I'm sitting on the sidelines

Waiting for the right time

For someone to come and carry me home

I'm sitting on the sidelines

Waiting for the right time

For someone to come and carry me home

I'm sitting on the sidelines

Waiting for the right time

For someone to come and carry me home

(The radio keeps playing on and on

On and on and on

The radio keeps playing on

On and on and on)
