Lyrics
"REARRANGING THE DECK CHAIRS ON THE TITANIC"
words and music by Perry Rohrer
verse1
SHE SAID IT'S OVER, SHE SAID WE'RE SINKING FAST
I TOLD HER I'D DO ANYTHING TO MAKE OUR LOVE LAST
I STARTED WALKING THE LINE AND I STOPPED RUNNING AROUND
I DID ALL THE RIGHT THINGS, BUT THE SHIP STILL WENT DOWN
AND I WAS JUST...
chorus
REARRANGING THE DECK CHAIRS ON THE TITANIC
I DIDN'T THINK ANYTHING WAS WRONG
I SHOULD'VE BEEN IN A PANIC
I THOUGHT WE WERE SAILING ON THE SEA OF LOVE
BUT WE WERE ON THE NORTH ATLANTIC
AND I WAS JUST
REARRANGING THE DECK CHAIRS ON THE TITANIC
verse 2
I HELPED HER AROUND THE HOUSE, I WAS HOME EARLY EVERY NIGHT
I DID ALL I COULD JUST TO MAKE EVERYTHING ALL RIGHT
BUT THINGS DIDN'T GET ANY BETTER AS FAR AS I COULD SEE
SHE MADE HER MIND UP, YEAH, SHE'S THROUGH WITH ME
AND I WAS JUST...
chorus
bridge
SO MANY THINGS I SHOULD'VE DONE RIGHT FROM THE START
BUT IT WAS TOO LATE FOR ME TO DO MY PART
AND I WAS JUST...
chorus
