Captain (Live Version) Lyrics

I sip scotch from
dusty bottles and
all of them are to live by
The ship tips more from stern to starboard
as he scribbles in his captain's log
Marks his vengeance on Mother Nature but
Calls her 'darling' nonetheless

He says, "Darling, these winds, these torrents, they will be the end of us,
Darling, these winds, these torrents, they will be the end of us,
Darling, these winds, these torrents, they will get the best of us,
they will be the end of us,
they will be the end of us,"

You spill
over
Spill
over
on

The light is seeping through the cracks
Now all of us will have a chance to start again
without this goal,
without this poison

The light is seeping through the cracks and all of a sudden, everything is clear
The light is seeping through the cracks and all of a sudden, everything is clear
Clearly

"Darling, this goal was poison, it will be the end of us,
Darling, this goal was poison, it will be the end of us,
Darling, these winds, these torrents, they will be the end of us,
they will be the end of us,
they will be the end of us,"

Dadadada dum, dadadada dum, ah-ho, ah-ho
Dadadada dum, dadadada dum, ah-ho, ah-ho

Dadadada dum, dadadada dum, ah-ho, ah-ho
Dadadada dum, dadadada dum, ah-ho, ah-ho
Dadadada dum, dadadada dum, ah-ho, ah-ho (I thought I read somewhere)
Dadadada dum, dadadada dum, ah-ho, ah-ho (Drowning is a peaceful way to go)
Dadadada dum, dadadada dum, ah-ho, ah-ho (How could they know?)
Dadadada dum, dadadada dum, ah-ho, ah-ho (I thought I read somewhere)
Dadadada dum, dadadada dum, ah-ho, ah-ho (Drowning is a perfect way to go)
Dadadada dum, dadadada dum, ah-ho, ah-ho (How could they know?)
Dadadada dum, dadadada dum, ah-ho, ah-ho (Dadadada dum)
Dadadada dum, dadadada dum, ah-ho, ah-ho (Dadadada dum)
Dadadada dum, dadadada dum, ah-ho, ah-ho (I thought I read somewhere)

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
