Tonight the captains dreams are bad.
|
Searching for a dim and distant shore.
|
Amidst the sluts, the drifters and the thieves,
|
he doesn't dream of landing anymore.
|
Drowning in these tumblers, stumbles through these doors,
|
swinging out to cold cement from sticky, hard tile floors.
|
These are the routes we wander girl, every goddamn day,
|
so swallow hard and wipe them dreams away.
|
|
Come to life again.
|
|
The smoke and the cold killed the men and the dogs.
|
Last glimpse of sun and all winter it's gone.
|
Chained at the ankles, cuffed at the wrists.
|
Stuffed into mail sacks and tossed into drifts.
|
|
The lunar eye is burning, boring through me digging deep into my chest,
|
into my head, into my dreams, into my sleep.
|
|
These dreams these days don't give me no peace.
