Sail Your Ship By - Count Zero

When I met you, you were off course

Fate’s winds blew you to my sand

You said, «My!

What beauty lies here!»

But you just needed some dry land

You hired hands to recruit me

But them uniforms don’t suit me

Well, if dumbshit you don’t care

To give something new a try

Sail your ship by

Sail your ship by

Sail your ship by

Sail your ship by

Found you storm-tossed, off the whale’s roads

Seaweed-necklaced, all soiled and green

Led you uphill I fed you plenty

Your mates drank with my best fifteen

But once you saw you wouldn’t rule me

You pulled out all the stops to fool me

With flattery only to confound me

Then deflowered all the bounty

Look, if you’re too scared to bear

To open one spare blue eye

Sail your ship by

Just sail your ship by

Just sail your ship by

Just sail your ship on by

Oh, look at you, look at you

You dress like a pirate, a devil

Well, I work another level

Some might call higher.

But I ain’t talking height

I’ve just found fire’s better used for light

Heads up, all you bankrolled babes

Here’s a beam to blast your astrolabes

And if you dare not even spare

One minute bare spot in your mind

Sail your ship by

Sail your ship on by

Sail your ship by

Sail it on by x3

Sail your ship by

Sail your ship on by

Sail your ship by

Sail it on by, by, by, by
