Ship Of Fools - John Cale[00:00:00]

Written by：John Cale[00:00:04]

The ship of fools is coming in[00:00:19]

Take me off I've got to eat[00:00:27]

Same old stories same old thing[00:00:33]

Letting out and pulling in[00:00:39]

Mister there's a caravan parked out back[00:00:45]

Restless hoping for a christian rider[00:00:52]

The black book a grappling hook[00:00:58]

A hangman's noose on a burnt out tree[00:01:01]

Guess we must be getting[00:01:05]

Close to tombstone[00:01:07]

The last time we had eaten[00:01:11]

Was when the flies were going for free[00:01:14]

You could count the hardships[00:01:17]

By the open doors[00:01:19]

But sandwiched in between[00:01:23]

Were the fishermen who still[00:01:26]

Wished they could sail[00:01:30]

From tenessee to arizona[00:01:31]

So hold on won't be long[00:01:36]

The call is on the line[00:01:43]

Hold on sister's gone[00:01:49]

South to give the sign[00:01:56]

We picked up dracula in memphis[00:02:12]

It was just about the break of day[00:02:19]

And then hastily prayed for out[00:02:24]

Souls to be saved[00:02:28]

There was something in the air[00:02:31]

That made us kind of weary[00:02:33]

By the time we got to swansea[00:02:40]

It was getting dark[00:02:43]

Tumble jungles bugles and the prize[00:02:47]

The tides turned west at amerforth[00:02:53]

As if they didn't know what to do[00:02:56]

But garnant stood it's ground[00:03:00]

And asked for more[00:03:01]

All the people seemed quite glad to see us[00:03:06]

Shaking hands and smiling like the clock[00:03:12]

Well we gave them all the message then[00:03:18]

That the ship of fools was in[00:03:22]

Make sure they get home for christmas[00:03:26]

So hold on won't be long[00:03:31]

The call is on the line[00:03:38]

So hold on sister's gone[00:03:44]

South to give the sign[00:03:51]
