This way to the starboard
This way to the port
Friend I will let you decide
You should be thankful
I’ll always remember
The white of your knuckles
The fear in your eyes

Come sail the good ship Darlington
Come raise the sails with me
We’ll leave the common man behind
And see what we can see

I need you
I need you
For now

We’ll sail across the oceans deep
Until we find us stars
We’ll be outrageous, self-assured
All masters of fine arts

But man, once we get there
The boat will be heavily laden with riches and jewels
And all kinds of people are jumping on board
Like moths to a fluorescent tube
But I won’t be sinking or turning for home
So soon after finding us here
I’ll jettison all that is no longer use to me
The water’s so lovely at this time of year

Come sail the good ship Darlington
And bring your fancy friends
They’re such good fun for ballast bags
They’re fish food in the end
