The Captain's Daughter

from Under Strange Skies by Radio Nowhere

lyrics

LYRICS
--------
stowaway / for a year and a day
sail the ocean wide
shook the dice cup / my number came up
mama stood and cried
yeah mama stood

they made me sign / they said choose a line
the slaves against the fools
a man with brains / holds on to his chains
obeys the golden rule
obeys the golden

stay away from the captain's daughter
walking on wine made from water
uncorked on the sly
and they tell me the ship is sinking
but I'm going down drinking with a
toast to the sea and the sky
throw me a line

left my post / off the skeleton coast
once the madness passed
under strange skies / I'm traveling by
the star I keep on the mast
the star I keep on the mast

now I been flailed with a / cat o' nine tails
keelhauled off the bow
but all this I swear
just doesn't compare
with the plank I'm walking now
with the plank I'm walking

I got it bad for the captain's daughter
walking on wine made from water
uncorked on the sly
and they tell me the ship is sinking
but I'm going down drinking with a
toast to the sea and the sky
throw me a line

stowaway / for a year and a day
I thought I knew the score
but how could I / have known I could try
but I'd never reach the shore
no I'd never make it back to shore

I'm staying here with the captain's daughter
walking on wine made from water
uncorked on the sly
and they tell me the ship is sinking
but I'm going down drinking with a
toast to the sea and the

raise it up for the captain's daughter
walking on wine made from water
uncorked on the sly
and they tell me the ship is sinking
but I'm going down

I go down drinking
I'm going down
I go down drinking
I'll be going down
I go down drinking
all the way

captain's daugher
I'm walking on
