Ship of Fools(Live at Madison Square Garden, NY, Sept. 1990) - Grateful Dead

作词：Jerry Garcia/Robert Hunter

Went to see the captain

Strangest I could find

Laid my proposition down

Laid it on the line

I won't slave for beggar's pay

Likewise gold and jewels

But I would slave to learn the way to sink your ship of fools

Ship of fools on a cruel sea

Ship of fools sail away from me

It was later than I thought when I first believed you

Now I cannot share your laughter

Ship of fools

Saw your first ship sink and drown

From rockin' of the boat

And all that could not sink or

Swim was just left there to float

I won't leave you drifting down

But woh it makes me wild

With thirty years upon my head to have you call me child

Ship of fools on a cruel sea

Ship of fools sail away from me

It was later than I thought when I first believed you

Now I cannot share your laughter

Ship of fools

Ship of fools on a cruel sea

Ship of fools sail away from me

It was later than I thought when I first believed you

Now I cannot share your laughter ship of fools

The bottles stand as empty as they were filled before

Time there was and plenty but from that cup no more

I could not caution all I still might warn a few

Don't lend your hand to raise no flag atop no ship of fools

Ship of fools on a cruel sea

Ship of fools sail away from me

It was later than I thought when I first believed you

Now I cannot share your laughter ship of fools

It was later than I thought when I first believed you

Now I cannot share your laughter ship of fools
