Captain

Captain, captain, won't you take me round the world with you Captain, captain, on the love boat I will be the crew Oh and I'll be with you I can scent the filthy seas, sulphur in the morning breeze How are we to find our way? Without your guiding hand I'll stray Round the mountains made of tyres, bridges stacked like Eiffel towers Somehow you will navigate, through the maze and out the gate. Away Health and safety pirates hide, like rag worm just above the tide for unsuspecting men like me, to nip and trip me as I flee. Voices call from swollen lungs, to other threats in other tongues Aliens from other worlds will meet us to exchange a word or two Captain, captain, won't you take me round the world with you Captain, captain, on the love boat I will be the crew Oh and I'll be with you Somewhere is a far off land, with crystal water, golden sand And all the trees are full of fruit, light years from the grimy soot 'till you say the final word, at the end of all known worlds you take my hand and comfort me, now we cross the endless sea Forever, ever Life is like an endless sea, I'll make it if I know you're with me We can take the highest wave with you I am safe Captain, captain, won't you take me round the world with you Captain, captain, on the love boat I will be the crew Oh and I'll be with you
