Lyrics

Fifteen men
On a deadman's ship aground
Take your leave
And a switchblade
In case you need to
Cut the throat of any
Ghost you meet and
Keep you safe from
Sailors like me
In a port town for now
On a dock working cargo
Oh, but you won't be long
Your address is spread
Far and wide through
Ghost and almost-ghost towns
All the towns you
Found your way into
The stars
Have all done their part
Now they're tired of us watching
Lined up as ever always
Where to now?
What to put your bare hands to?
Oh, but we won't belong
Our address is spread
Far and wide through
Border and empty mine towns
All the towns you
Found your way into
The stars
Have all done their part
Now they're tired of us watching
Lined up as ever always
Could not be easier than now
No-one left to let down
They lost you to dead reckoning
