Captain of Your Sinking Ship - Kommode

Oh, you tore my fences down

Bulldozered into my town

Promises of changes within reach

Showed me views I’ve never seen

Never grasped, not even dreamed

What I had grew day by day

No, no

I don’t wanna be the captain of your sinking ship

No, no

I’ll be gone too if you’re gonna run from it

Pictures of an other place

Prospects I have never faced

Everything you show me seems to glow

And below your feet, behold

The street you walk is paved with gold

And what’s in your way you walk right through

But shine with me is all you do

And when I shine I shine your shoes

Would this be your take on give and take?

And behind the flashy scene

I recognize the signs of dream

So I ring, I ring, I ring, I ring the bell

No, no

I don’t wanna be the captain of your sinking ship

No, no

I’ll be gone too if you’re gonna run from it

No, no

I don’t wanna be the captain of your sinking ship

No, no

I’ll be gone too if you’re gonna run from it

Oh you’re great, I can’t refuse

I’m saying 'Thank you' when abused

And the blows I take them as your gifts

But treasures can’t be found this way

Love is made of work not play

But you’ve never been lonely so you’re never gonna realize

No, no

I don’t wanna be the captain of your sinking ship

No, no

I’ll be gone too if you’re gonna run from it

No, no

I don’t wanna be the captain of your sinking ship

No, no

I’ll be gone too if you’re gonna run from it
