Last on Land
[THE STRANGE MAN]
I'm not the creator
I just build the boat
Wind plays navigator
I float

Don’t know if the lure
Is worth the cost at hand
Of one thing I am sure
I'd be lost at land

Oh, heave ho
No I'd never last on land
I would never last on land

Oh, heave ho
No one else would understand
I would never last on land

The rules that we’ve invented
Allow us all to play
When exits are presented
We stay

Our structure is perfection
But it is not the hull
Walls provide protection
We provide the soul
Oh, heave ho
No I'd never last on land
I would never last on land

Oh, heave ho
No one else would understand
I would never last on land

'Cause there's so many strangers there
So many dangers there
Give me open waters

Everybody lives so far apart
Crusin' on the courses that they chart
Give me close quarters
Give me close quarters

Water starts to wrestle
Things begin to sink
We don't ditch the vessel
We think

We find the solution
To escape our fates
It lies in the equal distribution
Of our weight
[ALL]
Oh, ba ba ba
Oh, ba ba ba
Oh, ba ba ba
Oh, ba ba ba

Oh

[THE STRANGE MAN, spoken, ENSEMBLE, and THE MUSICIAN]
Finish your mission. / Oh
Because you have to. / Oh, ba ba ba
Because it is what you are meant to do. / Oh, ba ba ba
You have no other choice. / Oh / Oh, heave ho
Outlaws like us, can't be anywhere else but here. / Oh, ba ba ba / I would never last on land

[ALL]
Oh, heave ho
No one else would understand
I would never last on land

Oh, heave ho
No I'd never last on land
I would never last on land

Oh, heave ho
No one else could understand
I would never last on land
[THE STRANGE MAN]
I would never last on
Never last on

[THE MUSICIAN]
I don’t know know where I’d be
If you weren't here with me

[THE MUSICIAN & BANANA]
And I don’t know how I'd sing
If to you I didn't cling

[THE MUSICIAN, BANANA, and THE STRANGE MAN]
And I don't know when I’d cheer
If you weren't always near
Lord, what would I do
If I didn't have you

[ALL]
Don't know where I'd be
If you weren't here with me
I don't know how I'd sing
If to you I didn't cling

I don't know when I'd cheer
If you weren't always near
What would I do
If I didn't have you

[? & ?]
What would I do

[THE MUSICIAN & BANANA]
If I didn't have you
