Liner, it was a fantasy sea cruise   It was a bet destined to lose   Across the waves, what was he thinking?   Sea shore, he had a wet foot in the sand   He was holding U.N. plans   Across the waves, what was he thinking?      All aboard before the storm   They've never seen a place like this before   Island in a forgotten latitude   And with colonial attitude   They took the chance for repossession      Grey skies there were no palm trees in the wind   And when a saint starts hiding sins   It's all aboard whilst peace is sinking      All aboard before the storm   Crossing swords before the dawn   Seen before, back in an infant's dream   Like a rubber duck, floating in the bath   So I sailed away on their time, Liner   Taking young lives in their prime, Liner      Harbor, I saw a flag waving goodbye   I saw a soldier's baby cry   What's it all for, that's what I'm thinking   Inside, I must he lacking true insight   Because I always sleep at night   Across the waves whilst men are      All aboard before the storm   Crossing swords before the dawn   Seen before back in an infant's dream   Like a rubber duck, floating in the bath   So I sailed away on their time, Liner   Taking young lives in their prime, Liner      Liner, to a distant shore   All aboard before the storm
