Waiting to Die

Stranded off the coast in a rusty boat

Praying to Poseidon that we stay afloat

Oh no - my soul is sinking

Oh no - my soul is sinking

Scavenging the wreck of a Chinese junk

Poseidon fell asleep when the opium sunk

After the blow - my soul is sinking

After the blow - my soul is sinking

Waiting to die

There's aluminum sharks swimming by

Waiting to die

With pornographic X's in my eyes

Waiting to die

Metal vultures circle in the sky

Waiting to die

With pornographic X's in my eyes

Remember all the sailors that were lost at sea

Why are all these bastards trying to stick it to me?

I don't know - but my soul is sinking

I don't know - but my soul is sinking

Drifting off across a narcotic night

Is the moon playing tricks or is that land in sight?

Land ho - my soul is sinking

Land ho - my soul is sinking

Waiting to die

There's aluminum sharks swimming by

Waiting to die

With pornographic X's in my eyes

Waiting to die

Metal vultures circle in the sky

Waiting to die

With pornographic X's in my eyes
