The Tramps of Taro Sound Sit and watch the wind Running ships aground. They give no warning cries, But they charge no fare So, I guess it's alright. Living off the spoils of the war, I sold my wife and children For a trench along the shore. As the ships go down, No one talks about The other side of town...

After we've had our fun And the spoils are long gone, Can't shake the phlegm of paranoia. The wind rails and screams As we try to keep our ship Together at the seams. But it soon disintegrates And we see their throbbing eyes Watching from the banks. They gave no warning cries, But they charged no fare - So, I guess it's alright Aus Songtexte Mania
