if you lose your course

do not show remorse

the stars have seen it before

all of it and much more

navigate the sky

it's the land that passes by

measure circumference

with delicate instruments

I think I'm jumping ship

with rats up to my hips

the captain? he just quit

he doesn't give a shit

do they come equipped?

with life vests that fit

Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh Oh

watch the undertow

do you know

how to roe???

As I look at captain's chair

I am standing there

I take the wheel in hand

and finally understand

we pilot our own destinies

fate's eventualities

we have to take control

of our minds, and heart and soul

I don't think I'm jumping ship

rats at my feet and hips

I know now

I give a shit

check the maps and gauges

make some notes, mark the pages

compass in our grip

to help navigate our ship

watch the waterfall

we cannot save them all

as they slip away

our own current takes sway

I think I'm jumping ship

with rats up to my hips

the captain? he just quit

he doesn't give a shit
