Captain Courageous (On Disko Island)
Captain Courageous
Looking outrageous in his finery
Fingers his shotgun
Knowing the outcome isn't binary
Death cannot daunt him
Ghosts cannot haunt him
Nobody wants him, because he's...
Captain Courageous
Isn't contagious but he's quarantined
Set him in aspic
Now that the politics are Florentine
Blows cannot strike him
Soundmen don't mic him
Nobody's like him, because he's
Captain Courageous, he'll never age
But we can't turn the page on
Captain Courageous
Captain Courageous
Doesn't engage us as he struts the stage
Captain Colossal
He's just the fossil of a bygone age
Death don't await him
Critics don't rate him
Nobody hates him, because he's
Captain Courageous, he'll never age
But we can't turn the page on
Captain Courageous
He was once all the rage
Now he stands like a statue with one arm in the air
And it's Queens and it's Brooklyn and his armies are there
And as he salutes, a bird messes the nest of his hair
Poor Captain!
His leather's imperial; disease's venereal
Death cannot daunt him
Ghosts cannot haunt him
Nobody wants him, because he's
Captain Courageous, he'll never age
But we can't turn the page on
Captain Courageous, he'll never age
Looking outrageous in his finery
Fingers his shotgun
Knowing the outcome isn't binary
Death cannot daunt him
Ghosts cannot haunt him
Nobody wants him, because he's...
Captain Courageous
Isn't contagious but he's quarantined
Set him in aspic
Now that the politics are Florentine
Blows cannot strike him
Soundmen don't mic him
Nobody's like him, because he's
Captain Courageous, he'll never age
But we can't turn the page on
Captain Courageous
Captain Courageous
Doesn't engage us as he struts the stage
Captain Colossal
He's just the fossil of a bygone age
Death don't await him
Critics don't rate him
Nobody hates him, because he's
Captain Courageous, he'll never age
But we can't turn the page on
Captain Courageous
He was once all the rage
Now he stands like a statue with one arm in the air
And it's Queens and it's Brooklyn and his armies are there
And as he salutes, a bird messes the nest of his hair
Poor Captain!
His leather's imperial; disease's venereal
Death cannot daunt him
Ghosts cannot haunt him
Nobody wants him, because he's
Captain Courageous, he'll never age
But we can't turn the page on
Captain Courageous, he'll never age
