CAPTAIN TIM

  CAPTAIN TIM

WE JUMPED SHIP IN DOWN IN GEORGIA DIDN'T HEED THE CAP'S ADVICE
HE SAILED TO ORIENTAL HE'D WARNED US MORE THAN TWICE
WE STAYED THERE IN SAVANNAH CAUSE WE LOVED THE PARTY SCENE
(THEN WE) HEARD ABOUT THE HURRICANE, A MONSTER CALLED IRENE

RAIN'S STARTED FALLIN WE'RE SOAKED RIGHT TO THE SKIN
WE'D BE SAFE AND WARM NOW IF WE STAYED WITH CAPTAIN TIM

WE GOT SHANGHAID AND WHEN WE WOKE UP ON SHARKY'S BOAT
HE'D BAILED AND WENT TO SHORE AND LEFT US THERE TO FLOAT
VOICE OF THE HINDSIGHT GODS SAID STAY AWAY FROM HIM
SHARKY IS A LUNATIC WEARS A LACONIC GRIN

WINDS ARE A HOWLIN THE BREAKERS' CRASHING IN
WE'D BE SAFE AND WARM NOW IF WE STAYED WITH CAPTAIN TIM

ANCHORS ARE FOWLING THE SITUATION'S GRIM
WE'D BE SAFE AND WARM NOW IF WE STAYED WITH CAPTAIN TIM

YOU CAN CUT THE LINES NOW AND WE'LL DRIFT IN WITH THE TIDE
HELM IS JAMMED SHE STEERS LIKE A ROCK- GOTTA JUMP WHEN WE HIT THE DOCK

SAILS ARE IN TATTERS THE LIGHTS HAVE ALL GONE DIM
WE'D BE SAFE AND WARM NOW IF WE STAYED WITH CAPTAIN TIM

ENGINE ROOM'S FLOODED GOOD KNOWING YOU IT'S BEEN
WE'D BE SAFE AND WARM NOW IF WE'D STAYED WITH CAPTAIN TIM

BACK TO HIT THE ROAD MACK
