Lyrics › The Ship

THIS TIME (Ana Egge/Mick Flannery)

Too long we run fast, too long we say yes
Too long now captain we say no
Too long we run fast, too long we say yes
Too long now captain we say no
We burn the sides of our own ship
We burn the sides of our own ship 

Speed, the man screams, stop, we say no
Heave, the man screams, stop, we say no
At once he knows he’s lost control
At once he knows he’s lost control 

Too long we run fast, too long we say yes
Too long now captain we say no
Too long we run fast, too long we say yes
Too long now captain we say no
We burn the sides of our own ship
We burn the sides of our own ship 

And so the ship stalls, and so the man falls
Too long now captain we say no
And for the first time, the wind we can hear
Too long now captain we say no
We hear the wind the wind is free
We hear the wind the wind is free 

Too long we run fast, too long we say yes
Too long now captain we say no
Too long we run fast, too long we say yes
Too long now captain we say no
We burn the sides of our own ship
We burn the sides of our own ship
At once he knows he’s lost control

At once he knows he’s lost control
We hear the wind the wind is free
We hear the wind the wind is free  

Too long we run fast, too long we say yes
Too long now captain we say no
Too long we run fast, too long we say yes
Too long now captain we say no

We burn the sides of our own ship
We burn the sides of our own ship
We hear the wind the wind is free
We hear the wind the wind is free  

Too long we run fast, too long we say yes
Too long, too long, too long
