[00:42.92]Tell me quick said old mcfee
[00:46.50]What's this all have to do with me
[00:50.45]I've spent all my time at sea a loner
[00:58.92]Is there something else I should know
[01:02.96]Something hidden down below the level of your conversation
[01:14.81]Well he turned away before the answer
[01:18.70]Though I yelled aloud he refused to hear
[01:30.95]It became to clear
[01:41.00]So it went as we put out
[01:44.11]I was left in constant doubt
[01:49.93]Everything I asked about seemed private
[01:58.22]The captain strolled the bridge one night
[02:02.29]I stopped him in the evening light
[02:06.48]To ask him would it be all right to join him
[02:13.09]But he stood there like some idol
[02:22.91]And he listened like some temple
[02:27.86]And then he turned away
[02:40.63]All along the fateful coast
[02:44.81]We moved silent like a ghost
[02:49.18]The timeless sea of tireless host possessed us
[02:58.38]The wind came building from the cold northwest
[03:08.61]And soon the waves began to crest
[03:17.06]Crashing cross the forward deck
[03:26.04]All hands lost
[03:29.54]I alone survived the sinking
[03:45.87]I alone possessed the tools
[03:53.50]On that ship of fools
