Sailing under a false flag
We're crossing the IDL
Becalmed where no creature lives
Lost, forsaken, cursed
Holed below the water line
A shift in the plimsoll line
Pumps in the engine room
Women and children first
Hysterical, no humour
Sabotage, a rumour
Captain-less and captionless
Injury, hunger, thirst
Reptile, prehensile, servial, editorial, gentile, fatal

Seems to be about a ship wreck, most obvious one would be the Titanic, but the thing with Wire the lyrics could mean anything.
