It was late at night
on the open road
Speeding like a man
on the run
A lifetime spent
preparing for
the journey
He is closer now
and the search is on
Reading from a map
in the mind
Yes there's the
ragged hill and there's
the boat on the river
And when the
rain came down
He heard a
wild dog howl
There are voices
in the night
Voices out of sight
Too many men
have failed before
Whatever you do
Don't pay the Ferryman
Don't even fix a price
Don't pay the Ferryman
Until he gets you
to the other side
Ah-ah ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah
ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
In the rolling mist
Then he gets
on board
Now there'll be
no turning back
Beware that
hooded old man
at the rudder
And then the
lightning flashed and
the thunder roared
And people calling
out his name
And dancing bones
that jabbered
and a-moaned
on the water
And then the
Ferryman said:
There is trouble ahead
so you must
pay me now
You must
pay me now
And still that voice
came from beyond
Whatever you do
Don't pay the Ferryman
Don't even fix a price
Don't pay the Ferryman
Until he gets you
to the other side
Ah-ah ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah
ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Don't pay the Ferryman
Don't even fix a price
Don't pay the Ferryman
Until he gets you
to the other side
Don't pay the Ferryman
Don't even fix a price
Don't pay the Ferryman
Until he gets you
to the other side
Don't pay the Ferryman
Don't even fix a price
Don't pay the Ferryman
Until he gets you
to the other side
Don't pay...
the Ferryman
