Plague Park (album this is from) is about the experience of living in the city and the country (big and little places) and how both can be kind of alienating. This song kind of melts those two places together and at the end tries to escape through the figure of the seacaptain, but it aint happening obviously.
Also, I think it goes "Sing captain / Sing out loud / Sing, but we're earthbound / Sing captian / Sing out loud / Sing captain / Earthbound
