lyrics

THE PLANK

You're mumbling words, I can't hear anymore
You're totally entertained that I am absolutely bored
To the sharks with your conversation see what they say
Thrown overboard and disappear into the waves

Down to Neptune's kingdom and the ink-black drink
Octopus bartender, you can hear the mermaids sing
That'll teach you all to try and disobey
There's a one-way ticket to your watery grave
And we say:

Enemies, I'll see you in hell
We're gonna walk 'em off the plank into the wishing well
Davy Jones' Locker where the fishes sleep
Won't be praying for you so don't you pray for me
I won't pray for you so don't you pray for me
I won't pray for you so don't you pray for me
I won't pray for you so don't you pray for me

Kill all those prisoners until their skin turns green
Let the salts of the ocean wash them skeleton clean
Raise up those oars and let them fall
As the wind steady sings you can hear the crew call:

Enemies, I'll see you in hell
We're gonna walk 'em off the plank into the wishing well
Davy Jones' Locker where the fishes sleep
Won't be praying for you so don't you pray for me
I won't pray for you so don't you pray for me
I won't pray for you so don't you pray for me
I won't pray for you so don't you pray for me

Down to Neptune's kingdom and the ink-black drink
Octopus bartender, you can hear the mermaids sing
That'll teach you all to try and disobey
There's a one-way ticket to your watery grave
And we say:

Enemies, I'll see you in hell
We're gonna walk 'em off the plank into the wishing well
Davy Jones' Locker where the fishes sleep
Won't be praying for you so don't you pray for me
I won't pray for you so don't you pray for me
I won't pray for you so don't you pray for me
I won't pray for you so don't you pray for me
