Oh its like a storm at sea
And everything is lost,
And the fretful sailors calling out their woes,
As to the waves theyre tossed.

Oh they are all gentlemen,
And never will they know
If there is a reason each of them must go,
To join the cruel flow.

And itll take a long, long time.
Itll take a long, long time.
Itll take a long, long time.
Oh itll take such a long, long time.

There is no need for rules,
Theres no-one to score the game
And there is nobody living in this town
As even knows its name.

Oh itll take such a long, long time.
Itll take a long, long time.
Itll take a long, long time.
A long, long time.
