Ship Of Fools Lyrics - Ron Sexsmith

Famous disappearing act 

Kills 'em every time 

The willing subject sneaks out back 

And leaves her space behind 

Life is not a parlor trick 

There's no slight of hand 

Just tryin' to save the sinking ship 

And there's no sight of land 

We are all in the same boat, darlin' 

On the same rough sea 

We are all in the same boat, darlin' 

The ship of fools it seems 

there's no good news in the news 

Only bad news papers 

As black humor stands amused 

At the plight of human nature 

Still a lot of good in the world 

No matter what they say 

And when the darkness comes unfurled 

There's a light that was built to stay 

We are all in the same boat, darlin' 

On the same rough sea 

We are all in the same boat, darlin' 

The ship of fools it seems 

Optimists and realists 

And cynics all agree 

That we are all in this 

Together whatever will be 

Oh, we are all in the same boat, darlin' 

On the same rough sea 

We are all in the same boat, darlin' 

The ship of fools it seems 

We are all in the same boat, darlin' 

On the same rough sea 

We are all in the same boat, darlin' 

The ship of fools it seems 

The ship of fools it seems
