Dancing As The Boat Goes Down - The Bats

At first we knew the sight

Brimming with gleaming golden light

As soon as we got there

I knew it would end in a great big fight

There was dancing and singing, crying and ringing

Dancing as the boat goes down

Dancing as the boat goes down

By now they were lost for words

They were following us in great big herds

As soon as we made the bay

Swimming away from the circling birds

There was dancing and singing, crying and ringing

Dancing as the boat goes down

Dancing as the boat goes down

It was never said what they really did

But we all knew when they ran and hid

There was dancing and singing, crying and ringing

Dancing as the boat goes down

Dancing as the boat goes down

Dancing and singing, crying and ringing

They were moving below the waves

They would never know the sun again
