Lyrics
Man the lifeboats
Someone cried
At me
We’re listing more
Than 12 degrees
Going into the sea
The wind was screaming
The spray was cold
I couldn’t see
Ocean Ranger
Why do I hear death
Calling to me
From the sea
The night was black
Like crude oil
I wanted to flee
The big rig bucked
and kicked its heels
against the sea
Up the gangway
While the waves
Clawed at me
Ocean Ranger
Why do I hear death
Calling to me
From the sea
Lifeboats away
5 men aboard
That I can see
The rig rolled over
The devil smiled
smiled at me
It caught the lifeboat
in the middle
we were sucked into the sea
Ocean Ranger
Why do I hear death
Calling to me
From the sea
