The Ship

[Verse 1]
Of all the poses, all the roles
Is this the one to turn to?
So high and mighty
Draped in papal robes
Could it be the thing that saves you?

[Chorus]
Lookin' out a window, cursin' at the sea
Waiting for the ship to come and carry me
Far, far from the weight of the wire
Far far from these earthly desires
Far far away

[Verse 2]
And when I escape, I'll harbor no fear
On a mountaintop of stone
Bird wings and wild barking dogs are all I'll hear
A little heaven for a home

[Chorus]
Looking 'cross the valley, not a soul in sight
Counting every breath to easе my mortal mind
Far, far from the will of the wires
Far far from thеse earthly desires
Far far away

[Verse 3]
Far away from the bastard and the bully
Far away from the simple and the silly boy

[Outro]
Of all the poses, all the roles Is this the one to turn to?
