about

written by Thomas Pappon

lyrics

Captain, captain
our ship is on fire
the sails are gone
it seems we better leave now, sire

Captain, captain
men are overboard
rats deserting
cries for help are being ignored

In days like these
I tell myself again
life ain’t no loveboat, man

Captain, captain
our ship’s on fire
there’s no hope
and nothing else will stay afloat

Captain, captain
sharks are everywhere
the stars are gone
the smell of doom is in the air
