Jason Vitelli - A Mutiny Lyrics

So long my friends, tonight will be our last

A mutiny is surrounding
My every act was for naught

Sea walls are caving in, what is happening?
I can't see ten steps in front of me
My hands they are a-shake as I walk this plank
It's a reason to maroon
So take me away (take me away) to another place (another place)

I'll be alone on my lifeboat, barely alive
But still breathing
Still breathing
Whoa, oh

A mutiny is surrounding
My thoughts driving me out of my mind
Shackles 'round my feet, their troubled gazes meet
Summoning the ammunition
Please no, please no, please no
No one told me why everyone must die
(I pull his blindfold off)

(It will be over soon, over soon)
Stay alert, it's all you can do
Says my sister as she pulls the cannonball
Tied to that noose around my neck
Those blood ties we share don't break our fall from grace

Suddenly the deck transforms into a glittering ballroom floor
And the seasick sailors lockstep into a psychopathic tango
And they swing and they dance 'till the dusk turns into dawn

I crumble to the disco floor upon an inauspicious moon
Asking why can't I cut this rope in two?
Find justice through this impending doom
Ooh

So long my friends, this will be our last goodbye
Goodbye!

My every act was for naught
Ah, ah, ooh
My hands they are a-shake as I walk this plank
It's a reason to jump

(But I'm alone on my lifeboat, barely alive)
(But I'm still breathing, I'm still breathing)
Whoa!
