(now it won't go now it won't go)
Because we're in the water
(the boat and me)
And the bottom must be a mile
(deep beneath my feet)

Can't climb up and lay down
I just get thrown around
Never was fixing to drown
But now we're so far out

So I describe the circle
(round and round and round and round)
Around this sinking bastard
(orbit the dying star)
Getting weaker and lower
(weaker still and still lower)

Oh I could fight
And go down slower
But I'm sure the sharks
Are better swimmers
Than me

And now the North Star comes out
(reflections dancing on the water)
To keep me company
(don't go my friend don't go)
I guess that's something
