Liner, it was a fantasy sea cruise

It was a bet destined to lose

Across the waves, what was he thinking?

Sea shore, he had a wet foot in the sand

He was holding U.N. plans

Across the waves, what was he thinking? All aboard before the storm

They've never seen a place like this before

Island in a forgotten latitude

And with colonial attitude

They took the chance for repossession Grey skies there were no palm trees in the wind

And when a saint starts hiding sins

It's all aboard whilst peace is sinking All aboard before the storm

Crossing swords before the dawn

Seen before, back in an infant's dream

Like a rubber duck, floating in the bath

So I sailed away on their time, Liner

Taking young lives in their prime, Liner Harbor, I saw a flag waving goodbye

I saw a soldier's baby cry

What's it all for, that's what I'm thinking

Inside, I must he lacking true insight

Because I always sleep at night

Across the waves whilst men are All aboard before the storm

Crossing swords before the dawn

Seen before back in an infant's dream

Like a rubber duck, floating in the bath

So I sailed away on their time, Liner

Taking young lives in their prime, Liner Liner, to a distant shore

All aboard before the storm
