  • THIS SHIP IS GOING DOWN 11-27-11 Song

    [1st vs] Tip of the iceberg
    That's all it takes.
    From perfection to reality:
    One simple mistake.

    Laughing in the fire
    Bleeding out into the dawn.
    Nothing's left to say, love.
    This ship's going down.

    [chorus] Raise that flag
    This ship's going down.
    We're dancing even as we drown, dear
    The Titanic of our love.

    [2nd vs] A thorn behind that rose
    Or was it a rose behind the thorn?
    Your mask like an angel hid your horns
    Not all that glitters is gold.

    The fires when you touched me
    Should've set off my alarms
    But I couldn't escape the sweetness of the pain
    Drowning willingly in your arms.

    [chorus] Raise that flag
    This ship's going down.
    We're dancing even as we drown, dear
    The Titanic of our love.

    Don't raise a flag of surrender
    Losing the war he's already won.
    Drowning, but hey boy, I can still dance
    As this ship's going down.

    White flag stained with heartbreak
    Flying forlornly on the wreckage of love
    Gasping for breath around your lips
    This ship is going down.
