Danger On The Titanic

(album: Dressed For Drowning - 1980)

I was the driftwood, she was the queen
A perfect sranger
She came to me 'cause I'd been at sea for too long
We sailed on through the hurricane
Often singing in the rain
On board a painted ship upon a sea of pink champagne
The waiter's face turned pale, th starboard side
He's seen a giant iceberg
We laughed out loud until we heard the ship like thunder strike
The orchestra's still playing and I never want the night to end
Hold on tight, be my friend
The music's playing to the end

Danger on the Titanic
There's no more lifeboats, but please don't panic
Let's have one last dance
Before you hear me cry, "Man overboard!"
Come on and hold me, throw me a lifeline
Don't leave me drowning with tears in my wine
Just when I found you, we hit an iceberg
It's man overboard

We danced the tango as the waves crashed down upon the dance floor
We carried on 'cause this was our favourite song
Your world is sinking fast, my friend
You thought that it would never end
And now it's dying, you insist on trying to pretend

Danger on the Titanic
There's no more lifeboats, but please don't panic
Let's have one last dance
Before you hear me cry, "Man overboard!"
Come on and hold me, throw me a lifeline
Don't leave me drowning with tears in my wine
Just when I found you, we hit an iceberg
It's man overboard

The orchestra's still playing and I never want the night to end
Hold on tight, be my friend
The music's playing to the end

I'm drowning in my salty tears
The crash of broken chandeliers is waking me
And shaking me out of my fear
Beyond the time and tide
"This was our maiden voyage, " he cried
The world we know looks so forlorn
But darkness comes before the very dawn
Before the dawn

Danger on the Titanic
There's no more lifeboats, but please don't panic
Let's have one last dance
Before you hear me cry, "Man overboard!"
Come on and hold me, throw me a lifeline
Don't leave me drowning with tears in my wine
Just when I found you, we hit an iceberg
It's man overboard
