in my crown dream
i am a captain
i sail the seas
from age to age
blindly i wait
for't all to happen
still i am just
an icthiophage
aftermorrow i can see my fate
to rot in a cell or burn at the stake
the fruits that i ate were paltry and poor
an' i won't grow above five-foot-four
i've been way out, way far
over the top and across the line
paris, dubrovnik, leningrad
drop the pictureframe and let us unwind
mother can you tell me
how am i to carry on?
life is a jungle
entangled as the amazon
living in a coma
sheltered thoughts and faltered dreams
life as a loner
ain't much use in questioning....
on top of old smokey
eagles fly up and sing me to sleep
on top of the beat, the world is complete
the fire dies down and dark jupiter frowns
singing way out, beyond the stars
reaching the limits of venus and mars
half-glazed, half-mad
trying is lying the dying i've had
