Lyrics Gogol Bordello

Gogol Bordello

It Is the Way You Name Your Ship

You know

It's time for a change

But how

And where do you start?

When bitching

And moaning

And frowning

And groaning

And loathing

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

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
