Captain, captain   This ship has landed   Bite down on aluminum foil   For aspirin makes you frail   And red wine’s dripping   Through pores of crystalline power   Speak softly now    Through the streams    Of audio tape      (I kept my eyes to the storm)    Your hemorrhage must hold together   (You muttered catch phrases)   Wedding rings clasped between your knees   (I drank them in with relief)   As retinas try to put colors together   (Now I’m drunk and needy)   Cause it’s your pulse which shares calligraphy      Your pulse must move above 95,    Hoping only that you don’t smell those fields of rye      Vocal chords creating beats which pleasure the ear drums of temper tantrums   As retinas grasped what happened last night, as impediments pave a river   Impediments pave   Impediments pave   Impediments pave   Impediments pave   You don’t know my position   A river of lime   Hands in the gasoline   A river of lime   And now all we have is progress   A river of lime    And all you have is a scene   A river of lime       You’re scared, I’m alive   You’re scared, I’m alive   You’re scared, I’m alive   You’re scared, I’m alive   This note upon the basket case in which he gambled your wine   You’re scared, I’m alive   You’re scared, I’m alive   You’re scared, I’m alive   You’re scared, I’m alive
