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 taking on   Is too much to bear, too much to bail out      Captain, captain   Please save me, save me   The neatest diver 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 taking on   Is too much to bear, 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 taking on   Is Is too much to bear, too much to bail out (x2)      I'm sitting on the sidelines   Waiting for the right times   For someone to come and carry me home (x4)      The radio keeps playing on and on   On and on and on   The radio keeps playing on   On and on and on
