Below the Deck Lyrics by Johnathan Rice

The Long Game

2019

[Verse 1]
I guess I fell from grace
Into some other place
But all my friends are here
So I no longer need the reason to be clear
Below the deck
That's where the party is

[Pre-Chorus]
Where all the women look brand new
And they're making eyes at you
Well, what's a blue-eyed boy to do?

[Chorus]
When the ship goes down
Don't say, "I told you so"

[Verse 2]
Well, Janie's really great
She's got a classic face
Got arms and legs for days
You know, I heard she punches way above her weight
Below the belt
Right in the profane sacred place

[Pre-Chorus]
Since we're all in the same boat
Well, I guess you oughta know
The whole thing's about to blow

[Chorus]
When this ship goes down
Don't say, "I told you so"
'Cause when this ship goes down
We'll be the first to know

[Verse 3]
It was coward's night
I almost felt alright
No rescue boat in sight
I thought I saw the transcendental light
The Lord above
We let him decide

[Pre-Chorus]
Of course, the Lord above said no
And there was only one place left to go
To that fire down below

[Chorus]
When this ship goes down
Don't say, "I told you so"
'Cause when this ship goes down
We'll be the first to know
Yeah, when this ship goes down
We'll be the first to know
