Lead me down, to the ship of fools
I belong to no one but the sea tonight
And my insomnia ...
Rushing madly past you
Full of secrets, don't let you see me this way
Only share my revelry
Set sail when I wanna be crazy
Load me on my watery asylum
And I'll lean out from the railing
Over the dark ocean
Into the salt wind
Singing to the sea and to the other fools on board
Of course I'm void- of- course
I'm void
Of course I'm void, tonight
Of course I'm void- void tonight
If you want me, look in some foreign port
Down at the bar...
Tattoos on my arms, I'll be brown and lean and strong
After so many high winds,
I'll be sadder but wiser then
Of course I'm void- of- course
I'm void
Of course I'm void, tonight
Of course I'm void- who do I belong to...who?
(I don't belong to a child yet
Or to most of our lives
On this perpetual detour, on the road of desire
For these ocean miles, better off hungry and wild)
After the myth is gone will you love my madness
And will I paddle bravely through the doldrums?
I belong to the moon on the masts
To the gulls crying
To this bronze on my fingers, to this singing and the the Autumn sky
November's so full of dying
Like a bird I wand to sing myself, higher and higher and higher
Load me on my watery asylum
And I'll lean out from the railing
Over the dark ocean
Into the salt wind
Singing at the sea and to the other fools on board
Of course I'm void- of- course I'm void
Of course I'm void tonight
Of course I'm void - who do I belong to...who?
