lyrics

The deep waters
When the mist is low
The cackling moon reflects Johnny
A bloodtide spray on the ports below
The lingering tears spell Johnny
Green in the orbs and roaring
Seeping like tar up the mooring
Flicking his tongue for a goring
It's him, Deadlights Johnny

Oh my dear son
Why hasn't he come home?
Ne'er cried a word of leaving
The shore takes my mind
While the oceans they roam
To leave wailing mothers a'grieving
Gang up yer dunnage and warble
Invoke your saints to the Swan
Flank 'fore your swallowed in barbel
It's Johnny, Deadlights John

"Chainshot?" Like daisies
"Powderkeg?" Like snuff
"Invocation?" Maybe,
A bluster avails a bluff
Immerse yourself in the bloodbrine
It's John, Deadlights Johnny

I plead to the tome, but where has it gone?
The tar feathered texts of the Swan?
I'd pray grant me clemency for the sins of my son
But if you will the undoing, won't you make it me who's undone?

Fang the narwhal and powder
Decant the cipher in dregs
Steady your voice man, and louder
Tonight you earn your sea legs.

John, Deadlights Johnny
You'd better thank your mommy
Johnny, Deadlights John
Catch you on the next run.

Captain Vulpine! Portland, Oregon

Culled from the muzzard infested lands of inbetween, Captain Vulpine wanders the ever-dying mortal world in search of nothing at all. Shortly after discovering whiskey, all was lost- and the disastrous memoirs of lands and minds long since gone now linger in these culminations of manifested misery and madness. ... more
