Boats, boats, boats Arriving to the harbors Near the big cities
The rocky cost, the black sand Boats that nobody´s waiting for
Nobody in the harbor with the signs with the names on ´em No welcoming hugs
Boats Boats
And it´s snowing on the mountains
Where the lonely eagle eye sees the millions of snowflakes fall
That the billion dollar baby
Never gonna see
From the bottom of the sea
Boats, boats, boats That nobody´s waiting for Boats arriving to the harbors
Near the big cities Cities with people in different colors Indifferent people
Boats, sometimes they arrive empty Sometimes they don´t arrive at all
Boats, full of dirty clothes, hopes, wishes, sweat and tears
Boats Boats
And it´s snowing on the mountains
Where the lonely eagle eye sees the millions of snowflakes fall
That the billion dollar baby
Never gonna see
From the bottom of the sea
Well, you might ask What is the problem with the boats?
Let me tell you The problem with the boats is that
Baby and the others they wanted to see The frozen cities the golden towers and the different machines, all the different machines
Baby and the others they wanted to see The mountains of food the mountains of clothes And the temples for the food and the temples for the clothes and the money tree, money tree, money, money, money Money tree
And the money tree money tree, money money money money Money tree
So, you might ask, what is the problem with the money tree? Let me tell you
The problem with the money tree is that the money tree is big but it´s not big enough for all The money tree is just for us
Us Us
And that´s why nobody cares that when
it´s snowing on the mountains
Where the lonely eagle eye sees the millions of snowflakes fall
the billion dollar baby is
Never gonna see it
From the bottom of the sea
And although the money tree is just for us, just for us The boats still keep on arriving
To the harbors of our safe European home The boats
Full of dirty clothes, hopes, wishes, sweat and tears The boats The boats
