i'm standing on the deck
the ice in my glass is clinking
it's such a lovely night
it's such a fitting end, i'm thinking
i'm standing on the deck
the ice in my glass is clinking
and as I'm looking up
the yellowing moon keeps shrinking
and I've been wasting time
thinking
surrounded by decadence and useless
drinking
i'm drifting through the floes
i suppose
this vessel's sinking,
sinking
i'm standing on the deck
the ice in my hand is shaking
and as the water rises
my tenuous grip starts breaking
one hand is on the rail
the glass in my hand is falling
some action seems required
but i just can't keep from stalling
and I've been wasting time
thinking
surrounded by decadence and useless
drinking
i'm drifting through the floes
i suppose this vessel's
sinking,
sinking.
