Downscope The Boat Captain Lyrics

Downscope the Boat Captain screened from his porthole

Head for the shallows and run us aground

Ram through the sail boots and onto the gulf coast

We're gonna burn this old ocean

Downscope the fishmonger looked from his signpost

Submarine leaving a trail in the sea

Oil from the engine and bits of propellor

Heading for shallows and running aground

Burning this old ocean down

Downscope the boat captain's eyes overlooked

The hand of a hook and the peg for a foot

Downscope the boat captain spoke through his jello

There aint no more sailors that are worth half their salt

I'm the last sea dog to sail underwater

'Cause there wont be no water when i'm dead and gone

To the bottom with oil from the engine

And a bit of propellor to spark up the blaze

I'm the last sea dog to sail underwater

We're gonna melt down these old ocean waves

Burning the water away

Downscope the Boat Captain's ship hit the bay

And the bulkhead gave way

And a spark caught the oil

And the oil spread the flames

And the sea burned away

Downscope the fishmonger's eyes saw the shoreline

Grow 'till it met the horizon and on.

The bed of the ocean looked dry as the desert

And the last pools of water were baked by the sun
