lyrics

THE BOATMAN

You say it's a good day
So how does it feel to have another one done?
Still with the program
Selling those tickets for the Boatman all day?
Day after day...

Hey, could it be that dog is turning yellow?
Up on his flat rack telling the people that he's gonna take their souls
To the top of fate

He preys on the lonely
This servant's a phony
All his dead are dead

You follow the Boatman
Yet gone are the remnants of another day's services
You follow the Boatman
'Cause he promised you a ride
Over there, somewhere, to heaven
Oh, so much bullshit

He preys on the lonely
Your servant's a phony
Oh, but you paid your fare

Now there's another place to place your soul
And you know it 'cause it's haunting
It's there in your head if you listen
In your eyes now
In your heart now
Promising all and asking for none
This is the one
This is the One
This is the One and the One and THE ONE

Oh this is the many
And the many is only
All to be as one
One as THE ONE

We are gathered here today
To mark the death of the last of the holy sons
We are here to remark upon the death of deity
Of soothsayer and profit alike
Of ghost and spirit
Specter and sprite
