Captain Splendid (LYRICS) by Kara's Flowers

CAPTAIN SPLENDID:
Nobody cares...
'Bout ocean affairs...
He's by himself 'cause nobody loves him...
Cleaning his sand...
Filled boots with his hand...
Looking for something but nothing sees him...

Happy was he...
in spite of his knee...
That wasn't there because of his day job...
There was a man...
who took to the band...
paying attention tried to adhere him...

(Chorus)
And he ran...
And he shot...
But his rivals were sharp...
And the kids..
In the sand...
Struggled finding a plan...

Seemingly fine....
He sipped on his wine....
Terror was healthy but not on a mission...
There was a sea...
A mystical tease...
Our cannons were shot...
'Til we couldn't afford them...
Others would have died alone..
Angels all worked free..
Timeless fairs and sing-alongs...
Speaking naturally....

(Chorus)
And he ran...
And he shot...
But his rivals were sharp...
And the kids...
In the sand...
Struggled deep hand in hand...
All the way...
From the bay...
We can hear them say...
"All the time,
We were dead,
And I'm Cap' Splendid..."


(Chorus)
And he ran...
And he shot...
But his rivals were sharp...
And the kids...
In the sand...
Struggled deep hand in hand...
All the way...
From the bay...
We can hear them say...
"All the time,
We were dead,
And I'm Cap' Splendid..."
