Lyrics Captain - Crook

Have you ever yawned at the skyline
Wishing that you could stop time?
Or surgically stopper a bottled up glance that you held at her eyes and then dropped to her hands

Imagine you're a ship in a bottle, trying to decide
What's the Captain's storm-time motto?
Does he fantasise 'bout breaking from the jar to sail the sea?
Does he realise the crew's a ghost and so is he?

Sincerity stops you from smoking or prayer
Your wit's in the doorway your laugh's in the stair
Her skipping rope dancing will wind you up tight
Like a coward toy-soldier on watch in the night

Imagine you're a ship in a bottle, trying to decide
What's the Captain's storm-time motto?
Does he fantasise 'bout breaking from the jar to sail the sea?
Does he realise the crew's a ghost and so is he?

But to move
Through her eyeline
And to catch it once upon a time
Would turn dumb the screams of heroes
And wring my heart out for a smile

Imagine you're a ship in a bottle, trying to decide
What's the Captain's storm-time motto?
Does he fantasise 'bout breaking from the jar to sail the sea?
Does he realise the crew's a ghost and so is he?
