This Ship Songtext
von Martina Sorbara

Trying to read her palm with a clenched fist
Calling out for whatever′s in store
Asking God, "Did the devil put you up to this?"
Whatever it is, I can't take it anymore
She said, "I′m gonna make something of myself tonight"
God and the devil, I'll show you up
And I can fight back and I just might
Your tempting business isn't all that tough

And she′s thrown all caution to the wind
Hoping to catch it in her sails when her ship comes in
But this ship, it won′t float, no no
Just don't


Parading around town with her open wounds
Stashing it all ′til it's sewn
Hatred, he will come to us soon
And I can get through this on my own
And she′s recruiting sympathy like it's an army
And as the front lines fall
She brings new lines up
She says, "Keep on your tiptoes, boys"
Like they′re just scoring in
Collecting pity like change in a cup

And she's thrown all caution to the wind
Hoping to catch it in her sails when her ship comes in
But this ship, it won't float, no no
Just don′t

She won′t make this worth her while
She won't let it get her down
Just try hard to keep that smile
But it′s just an upside down frown

I said, "Make this worth your while"
I said, "Let it get you down"
Why try so hard to keep that smile
When it's just an upside down frown?


Trying to read her palm with a clenched fist
Calling out for more
Saying, "God and the devil, you won′t get away with this"
When my ship comes in, I'll win this war
Well, God and the devil, you haven′t seen the end of this
My ship comes in, I'll win this war
Win this war
When my ship comes in, I'll win this war
