I didn’t sign up for this tour I didn’t plan to take this trip
Like everyone aboard I was born upon the ship
It’s the only home we’ve ever known as long as we have roamed
As far as we can tell, we’re all alone
We’ve been drifting about, far back as we recall
all we’ve seen is more of what we saw
it’s an infinite expanse of unbroken horizon
across the deepest void you’ve ever laid your eyes on
so if you already know where the road ends
then why bother with rounding that next bend
when the twist and the turns don’t keep me wanting more
I’m going up on top and bailing overboard
Well the passengers are loud and there’s always a crowd
And half of them are liars and thieves
But the company I keep yeah they’re simple and they’re sweet
But this god damn kid won’t stop kicking at my seat
there’s a party going on down in the lower deck
And you can go down anytime you wanna deflect
The pain of introspection and the certainty of death
To wreck our minds and help us all to forget
That if you already know where the road ends
then why bother with rounding that next bend
when the twist and the turns don’t keep me wanting more
I’m going up on top and bailing overboard
Well, the captain and the crew, they tell us what to do
Saying buckle up so you don’t drown
If we all keep calm there’s no need for alarm
Everything’s gonna be alright but the ships going down
There’s a big black whirlpool in the center of the sea
It will swallow everything eventually
So I stood up on my seat, said I think I’ll take my leave
And I’ll race you to the bottom of everything
If you already know where the road ends
then why bother with rounding that next bend
when the twist and the turns don’t keep me wanting more
I’m going up on top and bailing overboard
