《The Scorpion Departs， But Never Returns(Album Version)》歌词

[00:00:00] The Scorpion Departs, But Never Returns (Album Version) - Phil Ochs (菲尔·奥克斯)

[00:00:03] Sailors climb the tree

[00:00:07] Up the terrible tree

[00:00:11] Where are my shipmates have they sunk beneath the sea

[00:00:17] I do not know much but I know this cannot be

[00:00:23] It isn't really it isn't really

[00:00:26] Tell me it isn't really

[00:00:31] Sounding bell is diving down the water green

[00:00:37] Not a trace not a toothbrush not a cigarette was seen

[00:00:44] Bubble ball is rising from a whisper or a scream

[00:00:50] But I'm not screaming no

[00:00:52] I'm not screaming

[00:00:53] Tell me I'm not screaming

[00:00:57] Captain will not say how long we must remain

[00:01:04] The phantom ship forever sail the sea

[00:01:09] It's all the same

[00:01:15] Captain my dear Captain we're staying down so long

[00:01:21] I have been a good man I've done nobody wrong

[00:01:29] Have we left our ladies for the lyrics of a song

[00:01:34] That I'm not singing I'm not singing tell me I'm not singing

[00:01:44] The schooner ship is sliding across the kitchen sink

[00:01:50] My son and my daughter they won't know what to think

[00:01:57] The crew has turned to voting and the officers to drink

[00:02:03] But I'm not drinking

[00:02:05] No I'm not drinking tell me I'm not drinking

[00:02:11] Captain will not say

[00:02:13] How long we must remain

[00:02:17] The phantom ship forever sail the sea

[00:02:22] It's all the same

[00:02:28] The radio is begging them to come back to the shore

[00:02:36] All will be forgiven it'll be just like before

[00:02:43] All you've ever wanted will be waiting by your door

[00:02:48] We will forgive you we will forgive you

[00:02:51] Tell me we will forgive you

[00:02:56] But no one gives an answer not even one goodbye

[00:03:02] Oh the silence of their sinking is all that they reply

[00:03:10] Some have chosen to decay and other chose to die

[00:03:15] But I'm not dying

[00:03:18] No I'm not dying tell me I'm not dying

[00:03:24] Captain will not say how long we must remain

[00:03:30] The phantom ship forever sail the sea

[00:03:35] It's all the same
