Standing on the deck watching my shadow stretch    The sun pours my shadow upon the deck    The waters licking round my ankles now    There ain't no sunshine way way down       I see the sharks out in the water like slicks of ink    Well, there's one there bigger than a submarine    As he circles I look in his eye    I see Jonah in his belly by the campfire light       See the albatross up in the windy lofts    He gets to beating his wings while he sleeps it off    I hear the jettisoned cries from his dreams unkind    Gets to whippin' my ears like a riding crop       The captain once as able as a fink dandy    He's now laid up in the galley like a dried out mink    He's laying dying of thirst and he says or I think    Well, we're gonna be alone from here on in       Well you are all my brothers, and you have been kind    But what were you expecting to find?    Now your eyes turn inwards, countenance turns blank    And I'm floating away on a barrel of pain    It looks like nothing but the sea and sky remain       A harpoon's shaft is short and wide    A grappling hook's is cracked and dry    I said, why don't you get down in the sea    Turn the water red like you want to be?       Cause if I cry another tear I'll be turned to dust    No the sharks won't get me they don't feel loss    Just keep one eye on the horizon man, you best not blink    They're coming fin by fin until the whole boat sinks
