lyrics

The Captain:
I've met my share of pragmatists
And so far I'm not impressed
Sticking to what you know you can do and throwing out the rest

Look at me: I spent my early years
Rolling down a path built for engineers
Before I gave up on pretending I could be the best

Now I've found a better vehicle for me and hopefully you
I don't pretend to live my life the way I always said I wanted to
But leaving out's the only way to say it if you want it to get through
What colors are you?

You want a ship? Well now we've got one
Through a lie, but our intentions were true
We're the best looking crew you've ever seen and we're bound to pull a miracle or two

So come with me; it's time that we came into our own
Found uncharted waters, our lives and our homes
And if you need a captain, you know I'll do the best that I can do
