Lyrics

Translation
Bilingual
The captain's in a coma
The left tenant's on a drunk
And the owner's in his cabin
With his special friend the monk
The mate is on the bridge
Dispensing platitudes and junk
In wild and special places
Strange and dangerous places
Oh, sad sweet faces
It's a ship of fools
ย
The nurse in black seam stockings
She's already off patrol
The fake first starlet's panicked
By the watering hole
Everybody's waiting for the drama to unfold
In those cold and treasured places
Old and degenerate places
Oh, cold, cold empty faces
It's a ship of fools
Run, man, run
You're the only one that can do it
Tired, baby, tired
There's a ring of fire and you've gotta go through it
Oh, fun, baby, fun
When the sands have gone to the limit
Tired, baby, tired
There's a ring of fire and you're in it
ย
The people are too good
I venture down the dark end of the stream
Urban city, urban season
Urban lips with maple green
The other kids are like piranhas
In the soft flesh of your being
And any man's poison
Is every man's meat
In those mad and special places
Sad and degenerate places
Oh, sad sweet soul in braces
It's a ship of fools
Oh, those strange and special places
Oh, those wild and dangerous places
Oh, sad sweet faces
It's a ship of fools
