My my, hey hey
Rock and roll is here to stay
It’s better to burn out than to fade away
My my, hey hey
Out of the blue and into the black
They give you this but you pay for that
And once you’re gone you can never come back
When you’re out of the blue and into the black
King is gone but he’s not fogotten
Is this the story of Johnny Rotten?
It’s better to burn out than it is to rust
The king is gone but not forgotten
Hey hey, my my
Rock and roll can never die
There’s more to the picture than meets the eye
Hey hey, my my

We sail tonight for Singapore
We’re all as mad as hatters here
I’ve fallen for tawny moor
Took off to the land of Nod
Drank with all the Chinamen
Walked the sewers of Paris
I danced along a colored wind
Dangled from a rope of sand
You must say goodbye to me
We sail tonight for Singapore
Don’t fall asleep while you’re ashore
Cross your heart and hope to die
When you hear the children cry.
Let marrow bone and cleaver choose
While making feet for children shoes
Through the alley
Back from Hell
When you hear that steeple bell
You must say goodbye to me.
Wipe him down with gasoline
Till his arms are hard and mean,
From now on boys this iron boat’s your home
So heave away boys.
We sail tonight for Singapore
Take your blankets from the floor
Wash your mouth out by the door
The whole town is made of iron ore
Every witness turns to steam
They all become Italian dreams
Fill your pockets up with earth
Get yourself a dollar’s worth
Away boys, away, boys, heave away
The captain is a one-armed dwarf
He’s throwing dice along the wharf
In the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is King
So take this ring
“Singapore” -Tom Waits
