Song Lyrics
We`re sailing in a strange boat
heading for a strange shore
We`re sailing in a strange boat
heading for a strange shore
Carrying the strangest cargo
that was ever hauled aboard
We`re sailing on a strange sea
blown by a strange wind
We`re sailing on a strange sea
blown by a strange wind
Carrying the strangest crew
that ever sinned
We`re riding in a strange car
we`re followin` a strange star
We`re climbing on the strangest ladder
that was ever there to climb
We`re living in a strange time
working for a strange goal
We`re living in a strange time
working for a strange goal
We`re turning flesh and body
into soul
