Billy Talent
Ghost Ship of Cannibal Rats
[Verse 1]
(Respect!)
Is never given enough today
I'm tired of looking the other way
(Respect!)
An appetite that we can't sustain
We're on a mission to kiss our days away

[Bridge]
So how long before the rivers start to rise, dear?
Yeah I thank my lucky stars to be alive here

[Verse 2]
(Respect!)
A generation of castaways
Under a nation of tidal waves
(Respect!)
Are we the passengers or the prey?
You can't escape from the past on holiday

[Bridge]
So how long before the rivers start to rise, dear?
Pack your bags because the tide is getting high

[Chorus]
Don't be afraid of the view from economy class
It's just the captain and crew jumping off of the mast
All aboard on the ghost ship of cannibal rats
All aboard on the ghost ship of cannibal rats
Who's gonna sound the alarm when the bridges collapse?
Is this the point where the bomb reaches critical mass?
All aboard on the ghost ship of cannibal rats
All aboard on the ghost ship of cannibal rats
[Verse 3]
(Respect!)
Catastrophic events don't change
Today we feast, but tomorrow we pay
(Respect!)
But don't you worry 'cause you'll be safe
I got a ticket to piss your days away

[Bridge]
So how long before the rivers start to rise, dear?
Yeah I thank my lucky stars to be alive here

[Chorus]
Don't be afraid of the view from economy class
It's just the captain and crew jumping off of the mast
All aboard on the ghost ship of cannibal rats
All aboard on the ghost ship of cannibal rats
Who's gonna sound the alarm when the bridges collapse?
Is this the point where the bomb reaches critical mass?
All aboard on the ghost ship of cannibal rats
All aboard on the ghost ship of cannibal rats
Don't be afraid of the view from economy class
It's just the captain and crew jumping off of the mast
All aboard on the ghost ship of cannibal rats
All aboard on the ghost ship of cannibal rats
Who's gonna sound the alarm when the bridges collapse?
Is this the point where the bomb reaches critical mass?
All aboard on the ghost ship of cannibal rats
All aboard on the ghost ship of cannibal rats
[Outro]
One city from the coast (Disappearing too fast)
One city from the coast (Sunk into the past)
All aboard on the ghost ship of cannibal rats
All aboard on the ghost ship of cannibal rats
One city from the coast (Disappearing too fast)
One city from the coast (We can never come back)
All aboard on the ghost ship of cannibal rats
All aboard on the ghost ship of cannibal rats
Cannibal rats
