You know every naughty lyric, to everybody too
I understand you've really been around
And everybody loves you, cause you take them to the moon
How is it you can't make it on the ground?
You're counting the sad, so * the fools
I think you should look down
Cause you're probably the only one

The paper ship is soon to run aground
Now you've traveled around the world
And collected all the flags
But the Rand McNally Globe is all you've seen
And you ramble on for hours
About the stickers on your back
Describing places that you've never been
Yeah!
Your captain said
On the ship of fools
I think you should look down
Cause your paper ship is soon to run aground
Now everybody's wishing
They could all be just like you
Then sell their souls to do the things you've done
And they love to hear the story
Of the two wars you've been through
But you know you never fought in either war
Your captain said
On the ship of fools
I think you should look down
Cause your paper ship is soon to run aground
But you know you never fought in either war
Your captain said



Your captain said
On the ship of fools
Thank you.
