lyrics

Nail on, the railway sea, I'll find my way back to thee
Through muzzard entrapments I'll fight with glee

I'll sail my way back to thee

Though tracks run out, a bout of mud gout
Iron splinters and greed
Our shanty's our ballads and all we've decreed

We'll make our way back to thee

Nail on nail on
The tracks don't build themselves
Sail on, sail on, swing yer bloody helves

Pail on, pail on buckets for the well
Quell yer fears through hell man
To get back to yer bells.

Stranded and blanched on an island true
I'll make my own way through
Bridges are burning but the air runs blue

I'll walk my way back to you

Through blizzards and rain, the ails of my brain,
The thought of another brew
Raw gizzards and stains, though I may wain

I'll sing my way back to you

Nail on nail on
The tracks don't build themselves
Sail on, sail on, swing yer bloody helves

Pail on, pail on buckets for the well
Quell yer fears through hell man
To get back to yer bells.

Through torture and fever
And my old cook's clever
Through all I ever knew

I'll crawl through the maw
And damn the law
I'll work myself raw
For you my doll
I'll break from the jails
Through storm and hail
I'll suffer the wait
For you my queen.

I can still murder you.

Heave ho

about

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
