Slow Boat to China

I watched the whale ride the Throwing fountains of the sun The light here flied on my back Wait for a miracle to come Cargo comes and cargo goes And everybody knows That we're all on A slow boat to China Yes, we're all on A slow boat to China I often wonder if you're up the mast But down in the hole Sleeping in the captains quarters Right here with this girl Last time we met was at the port And I dreamt you'd snuck in for We'd be all on A slow boat to China Yes, we're all on A slow boat to China We're all sailing the seas on this snail I cast in line But I don't catch much But it don't seem to matter 'Cause I got the Jesus touch I turn one slice of bread Into a stinking fish head right back into a feast That could bring back the dead I'm known for a port Will reach and (?) And when we'll arrive Our lives won't mean a thing We're all sailing the seas Sailing the seas Sailing the seas on this snail
