In the mouth of the lion's den
While we held our heads
We held our breath
And one by one we lost our only friends
We traveled in fast company and kept up with the pace
But that's no guarantee that we could ever win this race
We don't ask for much
Just a little to get by
Enough to keep us grounded while the rest are getting high
And while we play hard, while we keep it real
Search for water in this desert, we don't have to steal
We'll go down with the ship
The captain's of our destiny
We'll get on our way
With the wind against our backs
We'll go down with the ship
Before we hand it over
Said over and over
Again
We don't have much longer before we say goodbye
They'll be time enough tomorrow to look me in the eye
While we play hard, while we keep it real
Search for water in this desert we don't have to steal
Those days are long gone over
And just a word to the wise
'cause if I never reach the end I sure have enjoyed the ride
We travel in fast company to keep up with this pace
There's one thing that I guarantee is that we'll win this race
We'll go down with the ship
The captain's of our destiny
We'll get on our way
With the wind against our backs
We'll go down with the ship
Before we hand it over
Said over and over and over and over
We'll go down with the ship
The captain's of our destiny
We'll get on our way
With the wind against our backs
We'll go down with the ship
Before we hand it over
I said over and over
Again
Again
Down with the ship
Well it's been past four years since we went down in flames In the mouth of the lion's den While we held our heads We held our breath And one by one we lost our only friends We traveled in fast company and kept up with the pace But that's no guarantee that we could ever win this race We don't ask for much Just a little to get by Enough to keep us grounded while the rest are getting high And while we play hard, while we keep it real Search for water in this desert, we don't have to steal We'll go down with the ship The captain's of our destiny We'll get on our way With the wind against our backs We'll go down with the ship Before we hand it over Said over and over Again We don't have much longer before we say goodbye They'll be time enough tomorrow to look me in the eye While we play hard, while we keep it real Search for water in this desert we don't have to steal Those days are long gone over And just a word to the wise 'cause if I never reach the end I sure have enjoyed the ride We travel in fast company to keep up with this pace There's one thing that I guarantee is that we'll win this race We'll go down with the ship The captain's of our destiny We'll get on our way With the wind against our backs We'll go down with the ship Before we hand it over Said over and over and over and over We'll go down with the ship The captain's of our destiny We'll get on our way With the wind against our backs We'll go down with the ship Before we hand it over I said over and over Again Again Down with the ship Explain Request ×
