On a boat, on my sailing ship

On my own, far away from it

Give me death, but don't give me this

I'll pass if that's ok.

To rave on, rave on

So rave on, rave on.

In a class where you got an "a"

Feel your lover's lips on your favorite day

In your mother's arms when you've lost your way

I'll pass if that's ok

On a stage where you love to play

On your knees, look for words to say

Thank god every single day

I'll pass if that's ok.

To rave on, rave on

So rave on, rave on.

On a boat, on my sailing ship

On my own, far away from it

Give me death, but don't give me this

I'll pass if that's ok.

To rave on, rave on

So rave on, rave on

To rave on, rave on

So rave on, rave on.
