Titanic Quartet
lyrics: Rebecca Sites music: Patchwork Monkey (Alec, Reb, Blake, Doog)
I’ll push off the last lifeboat, filled with captain and thieves
To await their fate on the witch’s tit sea.
I will dance on the deck in my doomed revelry
O Nearer my God to thee.
The luckless and desperate jump over the side
Bobbing with bodies that already died.
I’m not so eager to hasten my death
I must finish this song with my last gasping breath
And I’ll go down singing
And I’ll go down singing
With the Titanic Quartet
May this ship of fools keep brave to the grave
Knowing down deep it’s the soul that we save
So let music float as the night’s final sound
In echoes of ecstasy hope is unbound.
And now my feet won’t touch the ground
When your spirit is sinking from ill fate fortold
And maybe you’re thinking of nothing that’s bold
If you still have a voice, raise it up to the sky
As a beacon to all who can join in your cry
And I’ll go down singing
And I’ll go down singing
With the Titanic Quartet
I’ll prob’ly drown soon, but I’m not dead yet
And I’ll go down singing
And I’ll go down singing
And I’ll go down....
et al.
