Captain Is such an abrasive term Call me zebra instead Call me every other weekend Salute the system Or form a mutiny As disciples of Moby **** Just be sure rank and file Are futile Everything now is beautiful Rainbirds Caged in your barbed-wire heart Jaded feather friends In migration Tasting shapes And drawing blood From artistic wings As freedom of flyway must Still belong to the rule Everything now is beautiful Hopscotch On sorted sidewalks Ride the escalator instead Up one floor To the mezzanine That panders to The perversions of quiet girls Innocence outshines Experience When the hemisphere is Short on lifeboats And late for school Everything now is beautiful The missing world Beneath our feet Is what the ocean Tells us about ourselves "From swerve of shore To bend of bay" Check the notes In the margin Postcards and maps Depicting these dazzle ships And the angry waters They chart Are always of Skinny-dipping Sea vessels Her mons and ponds Face-up And full frontal Everything now is beautiful Dove taking Swan keeping We've power against dreams We've articles of war So this line is expendable An anguish languish Deep deep down Turning with the wave Against the sound Where we sailed on from one love To find another As usual Omnes una manet nox (One night is awaiting us all)
