lyrics

Upon this floating fortress
Games of skill and chance prevail.
A crimson river of torture
Beneath the windswept sails.

The Ancient Mariner's quiz show
Among the powdered kegs
To find out what you don't know
Is to find you've lost your legs.

The windswept sails of danger
Are no match for your gun
She died in the arms of a stranger
Her legs too weak to run.

You fancy yourself a writer
Respond these questions three.
Show her what she's won Nancy,
A cut above the knee.
A cut above the knee.
