The Fall Of Captain EO

Will we capsize gently or will we howl in fear
As the microscopic salt water animals fill our ears?
We can hold our breath our cheeks balloon
But every proper captain’s ready for a typhoon
Michael Jackson was declared dead at dusk and nobody gave a fuck —
Everybody could have sworn it was a stupid, but incredibly conceived, stunt
But the conspiracy theorists started coming up with the most unbelievable
scenarios
About masons, reptilians, and jacko séances with chimps and children
The media outlets started to question if it was a hoax
So they cautiously played Jackson 5 greatest hits on the outros of their shows
And didn’t even let out a whimper till the coroner leaked out the pictures
Of the king of pop’s body, bloated and rotting, wearing a crown in the LA River
Will we capsize gently or will we howl in fear
As the microscopic salt water animals fill our ears?
We can hold our breath our cheeks balloon
But every proper captain’s ready for a typhoon
Big Baby Jesus
I’ve encountered demons
And the mountains are covered in semen
While our communist daughters are falling asleep dreaming of a life with reason
But the light seems dim around these lives
And religion was never precise
So please hide in the dark, where the indiscrepancies of your face won’t shine
bright —
Sleep tight
The fucking stench of a regular life can nauseate
And poverty just seems to pollenate, all the allergies devastate
Oh, I still can’t decide between anonymity and a glorious ride…
Does it even matter anyway?
The king will always die
Will we capsize gently or will we howl in fear
As the microscopic salt water animals fill our ears?
We can hold our breath our cheeks balloon
But every proper captain’s ready for a typhoon
Listen up, little people, if you’re gonna go down
Make sure go down hard, and keep the scars!
I’ve seen dozens of daring men dangle desperately from the decks of many a barge
At one time they were the ones in charge, and once they lived life large…
But once is never enough to take a person out of a rut — tough luck —
The lightning dumb struck
I’ve seen the greatest men
Get swallowed by the bowels of the bubbling ocean
With its unforgiving overlords and terrible twisted teeth showing…
Peeling pink off of pursed lips
On the face of a perfect person
Desecrated by modernity’s worthless curses —
All the pessimism in these verses, bursting
Will we capsize gently or will we howl in fear
As the microscopic salt water animals fill our ears?
We can hold our breath 'til our cheeks balloon
But every proper captain’s ready for a typhoon
We won’t capsize gently, oh, we will howl in fear
As the microscopic salt water animals fill our ears
We can hold our breath 'til our cheeks balloon
But even captains will get swallowed by the typhoon
