Is it real, this Desertion, USS?
Is it real, this desertion? S.O.S.
Is it all they said it'd be
standing guard over looted fires?
We'll talk of omens and curses
and peg-leg gashes
pouring over the ground
with the snow and ashes
Got a two-pound devil
a lonely old vessel
It's all we've got at the end of a plank
standing guard over looted fires
