Lyrics for Navigating Flood Regions

"Spy!" shouted the crew, "Let's string him up" Wise off to the captain, now where's my coffee cup? And it's been an adventurous day The ship floats, but it won't float away Let's us stay Don your favorite costume, here we go Belt a song from your lungs real long and slow And you're doing a wonderful job Shaping up with a competent mob It's your job It's as long as wide and just beginning Been around for eons just like me Grab your money and let's go for all the winnings Cast your soul into the jagged sea It's the number on your head Now you're dead Stuff you down the barrel of a cannon Let you see the world as something to see Take you to the corners of the playground Let you watch the traffic through the trees It's the number on your head Now you're dead And we'll run as the war trumpet blows And the judge with the list of no-shows
