Abandon Ship



Even the light is escaping
Only the water embarks
We're up to our leggings 
In nothing to do 

The music is aching
To let out the rafters
The muses are faking
Enthusiass ghosts 

Unhoist the top sail 
The starship the dungeon
Encircle her deck
Humpback portal
Colossal wet forces 
barrel and gun
Abandon ship 
Nowhere to run

She is spiteful 
Leary daughter 
She's the way 
none shall pass 
She's a concrete 
blot on water 
She's a moonbow 
made of glass 

In the cabin
Sleeps a boy
In his dream there 
Creaks a quill 
No one sees 
The heart laid bare 
Ancient mariner’s
Xanadu plaint 

Unhoist the top sail 
The starship the dungeon
Encircle her deck
Humpback portal
Colossal wet forces 
barrel and gun
Abandon the starship
Nowhere to run.
