Every Time I Die - Godspeed Us To Sea Lyrics
Turns out I never had a thought at all. I've been talking in my sleep,reciting teleprompted anthems - a marionette strung tight to the executivesupstairs. I almost had myself convinced that I meant everything I said. Whata shame. Oh captain, my captain, you've been drinking. What happened? I'vebeen slurring my cadences and blacking out when I stand. I know all aboutyour son, who never did return from the war. But there was poison in thatbottle, I tell you. I'm coming out with my hands in the air. This is not myvoice. What you are hearing is not me. There's been a horrible mistake. I'ma proud God-fearing registered democrat. This is all the same elaboratescheme and it will be cleared up when the governor beckons for me. He'llclear my name. It appears that the inmates have overrun the asylum. There'sa madman at the wheel. We are not even remotely capable of keeping our headsabout us. We've abandoned all semblance of presence. Dead bolted, buckledin. Keeping our word to the sinking ship. Let the rats orchestrate the newmutiny. I'll meet you overboard.
