[00:42.96]Tell me quick said old mcfee
[00:46.53]What's this all have to do with me
[00:50.47]I've spent all my time at sea a loner
[00:58.95]Is there something else I should know
[01:02.99]Something hidden down below the level of your conversation
[01:14.84]Well he turned away before the answer
[01:18.73]Though I yelled aloud he refused to hear
[01:30.97]It became to clear
[01:41.04]So it went as we put out
[01:44.15]I was left in constant doubt
[01:49.95]Everything I asked about seemed private
[01:58.25]The captain strolled the bridge one night
[02:02.31]I stopped him in the evening light
[02:06.51]To ask him would it be all right to join him
[02:13.12]But he stood there like some idol
[02:22.94]And he listened like some temple
[02:27.88]And then he turned away
[02:40.66]All along the fateful coast
[02:44.84]We moved silent like a ghost
[02:49.21]The timeless sea of tireless host possessed us
[02:58.41]The wind came building from the cold northwest
[03:08.63]And soon the waves began to crest
[03:17.09]Crashing cross the forward deck
[03:26.06]All hands lost
[03:29.56]I alone survived the sinking
[03:45.90]I alone possessed the tools
[03:53.53]On that ship of fools
