lyrics
the trouble, the trouble
this place has broken me true
it's not like me but i can't be free
until i can break this place too
these roadside rooms like shackles
every one with a lock and chain
if i know you you'd be running too
if you had to stay here again
the only one who knows these seas
has just thrown up her hands
and has taken with her all her little
instruments for finding land
and she's gone to hide somewhere between
the cliffs of dreams and the fog of humankind
if i only had a captain
i'd have mutiny on my mind
doom upon each pharaoh
a curse upon each king
who lays coal upon his people
for to find some diamond thing
i don't deny i've been there too
with the lowest i've sometime lain
but the rock stays on the ring my bug
the blood stays on the blade
the dirt between my fingers
needs time to be received
i'll be damn if i'll be demanded to
make these hands look clean
feeling around with my foreign claw
trying to find some futile line
if i only had a captain
id have mutiny on my mind
Like a laminated lover it's never
enough just to be seen
i know your breast beats unlike the rest
and there's nothing in between
sometimes i feel like a dollar
sometimes i feel like a dime
with you my bug i feel my trouble
easing by and by
what would a life be
without some trouble in mind
if i only had it in me
to stand up straight and
act alright
when i feel my luck is changing
i remember the rule of tides
if i only had a captain
id have mutiny on my mind
