Текст песни: Skeleton Crew + перевод

It was long after midnight, as I rode through the crowd

Singing snatches of ballads and thinking out loud

I’d spent all my money //

So I boarded a ship with a skeleton crew

The captain // as we // the land

For we’d made the same voyage thousands of times

I’d seen him before, a terrible man

He said come on aboard and gamble your soul

With a ghost at the wheel and a barrel of brew

Will you come on a ship with a skeleton crew?

The // was insane, so much the man drank

Nobody to blame, nobody to thank

There was only the sound of the clip of the sails

So we rode with the wind, all over the sea

A skeleton crew and a black jamboree

‘til round about dawn came a cry ‘mutiny'

Come on aboard and gamble your soul

With a ghost at the wheel and a barrel of brew

Will you come on a ship with a skeleton crew?

I watched as a mage came staggering by and I went to the captain

If you don’t turn about, you’re all gonna die

Well make this your casket sure as I’m alive

The captain stood up, with a // frown

By the hangman above and the mermaid below

I’ve seen many more midnights than you’ll ever know

And it seems to me, there’s a list to this //

And he stared up the boat and the navy did too

At the weathervane figure with a privileged view

Till the sun kissed the sky and the moonlight shone like a skeletons eye

Come on aboard and gamble your soul

With a ghost at the wheel and a barrel of brew

Will you come on a ship with a skeleton crew?

Come on aboard and gamble your soul

With a ghost at the wheel and a barrel of brew

Will you come on a ship with a skeleton crew?
