I guess I fell from grace into some other place
But all my friends are here so I no longer need the reason to be clear
Below the deck, that's where the party is
Where all the women look brand new
And they're making eyes at you
Well what's a blue eyed boy to do?
When the ship goes down don't say I told you so
Well Janie's really great she's got a classic face
Got arms and legs for days and I hear she punches way above her weight
Below the belt, right in the profane sacred place
Since we're all in the same boat
Well I guess you oughta know
The whole thing's about to blow
When the ship goes down don't say I told you so
Cause when this ship goes down we'll be the first to know
It was coward's night, I almost felt alright
No rescue boat in sight, I thought I saw the transcendental light
The Lord above, we let him decide
Of course the Lord above said no
And there was only one place left to go
To that fire down below
When this ship goes down don't say I told you so
Cause when the ship goes down we'll be the first to know
Yeah when this ship goes down we'll be the first to know
