But let's keep on believin'
Believe in all the lies we've
Let's step out and greet the evening
The moon is pouring out its poison light
On the slugs, the roaches and the snails
Ain't even time for one last fight
When the ship of last hope sails
So tell me what to say to you now
I used to be the perfect deceiver
I would break the ice like a bride
And you would be my earnest believer
We've said goodbye in a thousand ways
In screams and taunts and wails
Nothing's gained, but everybody pays
When the ship of last hope sails
When the ship of last hope sails
You can only wave goodbye
When the ship of last hope sails
We've retired to our separate beds
And a dull light paints the ceiling
Our lungs fill up with air,
but you can't really call it breathing
Resignation ain't defeat,
A comfort when all else fails
A comfort as brittle as envy or hate
When the ship of last hope sails
When the ship of last hope sails
You can only wave goodbye
When the ship of last hope sails
There ain't no sense in askin' why
