Lyrics:
You're mumbling words
But I can't hear anymore
You're totally entertained
That I am absolutely bored
To the sharks with your conversation
And see what they say
As you're thrown overboard
And disappear into the waves
Down to Neptune's kingdom
Where in the ink black drink
Octopus bartenders
You can hear the mermaids sing
That'll teach you all to try and disobey
Here's a one-way ticket to your watery grave
And we say
To all our enemies, we'll see you in hell
We're gonna walk 'em off the plank into the wishing well
Down to Davy Jones' Locker where the fishes sleep
I won't be praying for you, so don't be praying for me
To all our enemies, we'll see you in hell
We're gonna walk 'em off the plank into the wishing well
Down to Davy Jones' Locker where the fishes sleep
I won't be praying for you, so don't be praying
Don't be praying for me
Keel hauls the prisoners until their skin turns green
Let the salts of the ocean wash those skeletons clean
Raise up those oars and let them fall
As the wind steadily sings you can hear the crew call
To all our enemies, we'll see you in hell
We're gonna walk 'em off the plank into the wishing well
Down to Davy Jones' Locker where the fishes sleep
I won't be praying for you, so don't be praying for me
To all our enemies, we'll see you in hell
We're gonna walk 'em off the plank into the wishing well
Down to Davy Jones' Locker where the fishes sleep
I won't be praying for you, so don't be praying
Don't be praying for me

Love the way he says "Octopus bartenders"

[kevlar]

God, I remember the best show I've ever seen in my life. It was in Santa Cruz, at The Barn on High Street. The Devil Makes Three played after The Eligible Bachelors. Unbelievable! The place was packed and the sound was great. I will always remember that show.

[thedesertofthereel.]

I never knew I loved country music this much. I feel like it was made for me. Good lord it's so good.

[thatonekid]

you ever notice how a song can sound like the nevada desert and a pirate shanty at the same time?

[FishlifeObrien]

This is the best song by the devil makes three

[karkantosPT]

Damn how this band makes me so glad love your music

[Hollywoohorse]

I love modern bands doing piratey songs, it brings my aesthetic great joy

[nateweber]

So many memories of sitting around a camp fire listening to this album. Much love from everyone in SC.
From pacific avenue to boulder creek.

I have seen DM3, four times live. You have not truly lived, until you have experienced the energy from their performance!!! A couple years back when they were in Portland I went to the show even though I had had a very intense spine surgery just two weeks prior to the show. But it didn't matter. No amount of pain would keep me from seeing them again. Not that it has to be said but this song live is just absolutely epic.
Love from Oregon 🌲💚

Down to Neptune's kingdom
And the ink-black drink

We're gonna walk 'em off the plank into the wishing well
Down to Davy Jones' Locker where the fishes sleep
I won't be praying for you so don't be praying
Don't be praying for me

Kill all those prisoners until their skin turns green
Let the salts of the ocean wash them skeleton clean
Raise up those oars and let them fall
As the wind steadily sings you can hear the crew call

To all our enemies, we'll see you in hell
We're gonna walk 'em off the plank into the wishing well

I won't be praying for you so don't be praying for me
To all our enemies, we'll see you in hell

Don't be praying for me

[XLuxiosfantasyX]

This might just be my favorite album <3

[ultraspike]

Y’all are amazing! Keep up the good work. And thanks for doing what you do.

[Danocaster]

The mix on this song trips me out because it's as dry as a kd 2x4 but about being a sailor/Pirate

[keaganjames]

This album has dragged me through some stuff I thought i was gonna be stuck in. ❤❤

[AlexMig]

This song just hits all good I don’t know how to describe it besides with the ok symbol like eating a relaxing good smell with your ears

[intelligentcat]

This band has helped me to process the deaths of my beloved family members.

[theskeptic]

still not sure how they were able to captured their sound seeing that they're from socal. it's very convincing regardless of how studied. i love the band. thanks for sharing.

[erinsable]

i remember the soldiers coming home from afghanistan playing this, and most of them said to me how futile the war was, as all wars are, disgusting the elites keep sending the lower classes of to fight each other, or to fight in civil wars, for the profit and power consolidation of the rich, absolutely disgusting good men are dying by the milllions for the enrichment of the political and elite class. i wish for a world where the arms industry isnt the biggest business industry, and where good men are not sent to die for their so called betters, who are in fact, just criminal psychopaths who have seized control and power. the killings fields of nato and the rich absoulutely disgust me, and it disgusts me most soldiers can only understand it and articulate their feelings about it through music and comradeship.

[mikidomeny]

I said it before and I say it again: one of the goats! ..truly great band.

[nicoledaniel]
