Lyrics
That ship's on fire, she's sinking fast
There's one man standing on the mast
His arms are spread, there's flames around his head
He'd better jump before the blast
Dr Dupree is standing on the quay
He's taking colour photographs
They'll hold a cover if he's dead
Blazing arrows trail in red
We stand and stare as he comes back up for air
The waters close in round his head
Dr Dupree is writing busily
At last he's made a center spread
I want to go down to the open ground
I can see the pictures turning round
And though I know I'll be out there on my own
This time I don't care if I drown
Dr Dupree won't write no more for me
Dr Dupree won't write no more for me
And I'm getting tired of coming down
