Pay my shillings to the ferryman, maybe he'd agree My friends have gone their separate ways what's there left for me A hundred floors above me lies a lonely tree It's ancient roots draft recruits and smother all they see Verse 2 I'm not surprised you're an optimist I'm not surprised you'd disagree But it seems a most unlikely road And in time I think you'll see Verse 3 I'm not playing at the table The dealers deal is rigged And by the time they find me out It's they who have been tricked Chorus And take me to the dark below And take me to the well We'll go back right back to the drawing board And we'll go right back to hell And they'll find you in the Isle of Dogs They'll find you in your cell Where hang in there means different things Depending who you tell There's no room for the both of us There's no room for the both of us farewell Verse 4 The guards below are callous, They're the guards of your decline, They're not your friend they're not your foe They're just with you all the time Verse 5 And they're the noise inside your bedroom dear, They're the ticking hand of time, The clock that keeps you up at night The caustic in your mind. Verse 6 And the guards below are watching, And all their walls have eyes If you feel above the prison dear They'll bring you down to size. Verse 7 And they're the numbness in your smile dear, the sadness amongst men, and they'll bring you right back up for air but they'll bring you down again. Chorus And take me to the dark below And take me to the well We'll go back right back to the drawing board And we'll go right back to hell And they'll find you in the Isle of Dogs They'll find you in your cell Where hang in there means different things Depending who you tell There's no room for the both of us There's no room for the both of us farewell Verse 8 And I'm not the road most travelled I'm none of that you see I pay my rent in toil and cents They bring no guarantee Verse 9 And yes it causes trouble And if asked you always shine You hide your cross your scarlett loss Pretend you're doing fine Verse 6 And I'm not embarrassed by the mission I'm not embarrassed by the cut My prism splits where light permits But you did not say with what Chorus And take me to the dark below And take me to the well We'll go back right back to the drawing board And we'll go right back to hell And they'll find you in the Isle of Dogs They'll find you in your cell Where hang in there means different things Depending who you tell There's no room for the both of us There's no room for the both of us farewell Verse 7 The calendar of the souls dear The parlance of the angels I'll send a thousand angels down To f*ck your expectations Verse 8 And the boat seems unbalanced And we're taking in rain Your life support is screaming dear It can not take the strain Verse 9 And we tiptoe around the subject Why can't someone say it straight May god have mercy on your soul Your craven heart is late Chorus And take me to the dark below And take me to the well We'll go back right back to the drawing board And we'll go right back to hell And they'll find you in the Isle of Dogs They'll find you in your cell Where hang in there means different things Depending who you tell There's no room for the both of us There's no room for the both of us farewell
