On waves of love my heart is breaking And stranger still my self control I can't rely on anymore New tides surprise my world it's changing Within this frame an ocean swells Behind this smile I know it well Beneath a lover's moon I'm waiting I am the pilot of the storm Adrift in pleasure I may drown I built this ship it is my making And furthermore my self control I can't rely on anymore I know why I know why Crazy on a ship of fools Crazy on a ship of fools Turn this boat around back to my loving ground Oh no, oh no Who claims that no man is an island While I land up in jeopardy More distant from you by degrees I walk this shore in isolation And at my feet eternity tries ever sweeter plans for me I know why I know why Crazy on a ship of fools Oh, crazy on a ship of fools Turn this boat around back to my loving ground Oh no, oh no Ship of fools Turn this boat around back to my loving ground Oh no, oh Crazy on a ship of fools Oh, crazy on a ship of fools Turn this boat around back to my loving ground Oh no, oh no Ship of fools
