Lyrics

I had a woman ship I took her overseas She left her hull unlocked I had to find a dock I was a toiler on the sea I was a toiler on the sea I was a toiler on the sea I was a toiler on the sea We didn't use cruel words To navigate cruel seas The wind was biting hard At times I had to scream I was a toiler on the sea I was a toiler on the sea I was a toiler on the sea I was a toiler on the sea And when we reached the land We went aground on the rocks Became a wreck in the sand Became a home for a flock We ventured overland Fought with the aliens The young ones used their hands Pointed the way to a flock A flock of seagulls! A flock of seagulls! Then we retraced our steps Rebuilt the woman ship I took her back up north I lost her in the fog I was a toiler on the sea I was a toiler on the sea I was a toiler on the sea I was a toiler on the sea I was a toiler I was a toiler I was a toiler On the sea On the sea I was a toiler I was a toiler On the sea I was a toiler A toiler A toiler
