Captain Faded Red Lyrics

Captain Faded Red

Dressed in his best two-piece suit

A 2180 puppeteer

A doctor's bag in his hand

He took to the stage

And he mesmerized the crowd

With his performance

He's the master of strings, the strings of fate

His show is a work of art

Creating the lives of all his friends

He takes away the pain of the heart

So, the audience cheered

As he finished his show

The strings and the puppets

Were put away

He thanked the spectators

And began to go

But somebody called out

They called out

And made him stay

He's the master of strings, the strings of fate

His show is a work of art

Creating the lives of all his friends

He takes away the pain of the heart

The crowd begged him to stay

And perform one more

So the Captain agreed

And began to play

He created a story

Of love and despair

And everyone was captivated

By the display

He's the master of strings, the strings of fate

His show is a work of art

Creating the lives of all his friends

He takes away the pain of the heart

When the show was over

They all once again

Broke into applause

The Captain bowed

And smiled with grace

He vacated the stage

But his shadow

Remained on the boards

And his legacy would never be erased

He's the master of strings, the strings of fate

His show is a work of art

Creating the lives of all his friends

He takes away the pain of the heart

(The pain of the heart, Faded Red)

Captain Faded Red

Forever dressed in his old two-piece suit

(Faded Red)

Captain Faded Red

Still 2180

Still an empty bag in his hand
