lyrics

Graveyard shift tendin’ to this bridge
Not a lift yet, weather’s foggy and wet
I went to rest my head for a sec
I awoke at 2:30 in the mornin’
From the sound of loud roaring
Then there it appeared out of the mist to the west
The frightful sight of the silhouette
Before my bridge was this massive ship
I flipped the switch to lift up the arms
The situation was a mess, the thing wouldn’t lift
The gears wouldn’t shift and then it hit
The impact, I’m sure it was bound to do me harm
But nothin’
No breaks, not even a scratch
It just passed right through me
Passed and kept movin’
On the track

Ghost ship
Sails on fire
Ghost ship
Sails on fire

On this rig was an assembly of the scariest crew of ghouls
The captain with his foot restin’ on his chest of jewels
Parrot on his shoulder, barkin’ orders
Pirates with no eyes in their sockets, no skin on their carcass
Workin’ intently and swingin’ from the masts
I knew this ship was rockin’ and movin’ fast
Sway to the sea
I stared on in shock and awe of this impossible scene that I saw
It left to the east and I felt at ease as I …
… off to the distance and in the darkness and open water
Then it burst into flames and lit on fire

Ghost ship
Sails on fire

Ghost ship
Sails on fire
Ghost ship
Sails on fire
Ghost ship
Sails on fire
Ghost ship
Sails on fire
