It Is The Way You Name Your Ship Lyrics by Gogol Bordello

Pura Vida Conspiracy

2013

You know it's time for a change
But how and where do you start?
When bitching and moaning and frowning
And groaning and loaning and throwing
Has torn you apart
It has torn you apart
From deep within
Left no vigorous cell
Even in eden you seek knothole to hell
Oh hey (hey), ho (ho)
Captain crooked grin
Tell me where you trying to go
You taught your parrot to stutter
Now you repeat his old chatter
But it is the way you name your ship
That's the way it's going to row, oh
It's the way you name your ship
That's the way it's going to row
Now in the beginning there was a word
In the end there is no end
People don't live or die
People just fade in and out of the fog
We come to comprehend
And now all alone with your crooked grin
How you plan staying afloat
Even the boatsman grab bible
And split from the boat
Oh hey (hey), ho (ho)
Captain crooked grin
Tell us where you trying to go
You taught your parrot to stutter
Now you believe his old chatter
But it is the way you name your ship
That's the way it's going to row, oh
It's the way you name your ship
That's the way it's going to row
Row
You taught your parrot to stutter
Now you're slave to his chatter
But it is the way you name your ship
That's the way it's going to row, oh
It's the way you name your ship
That's the way it's going to row, oh
It's the way you name your ship
That's exactly how it's going to row
