lyrics

Rise at dawn and greet the day
Darling, wash the sleep away
'Cause the hours are running out
They're running out on us

Couldn't keep the dream alive
Couldn't say we didn't try
And now our time is running out
It's running out on us

We'll be singing as the ship goes down, goes down
We'll be singing as the ship goes down, goes down

Not a dime to pay the bills
Take the few remaining pills
'Cause what we have is running out
It's running out on us

We'll be singing as the ship goes down, goes down
We'll be singing as the ship goes down, goes down
Oh, this time we will surely drown, we will drown
We'll be singing as the ship goes down

Held in our hands
The seed of our plans
Saw it start to grow
We tried to manage
Find an advantage
Contain the damage
But in this life
You just never know
And now our hope is running out
It's running out on us

We'll be singing as the ship goes down, goes down
We'll be singing as the ship goes down, goes down
Yes, this time we will surely drown, we will drown
We'll be singing as the ship goes down, goes down

We'll be singing as the ship goes down, goes down
We'll be singing as the ship goes down, goes down
Let your song be your final sound, make it loud
And be singing as the ship goes down
Goes down
