Big Country - Sling It! lyrics

Well the ship was sailing through a tempest of fear There was lightning and explosions galore And the waves came a whooshing and crashing and boy There was panic as we swam for the shore There was ladies and babies being trampled to hell And the flames flickered happy and sad And the honey-colored moon was bouncing around Laughing and saying, "Christ, this is mad" Come on Sling it, sling it Let's sling it and do it again Message flashed in the sky by the sun "Be careful it's only a game If you believe what you see you'll be rewarded by me Or be drowned or burned it's all the same" And the fear in our hearts Was diminished at once We began to restore love and peace Although the ship was going down There was a moral to be found "If this is life, it's hard to believe" Come on Sling it, sling it Let's sling it and do it again Sling it, sling it Let's sling it and do it again Sling it, sling it Let's sling it and do it again in 5/4
