(a song about a movie about pirates, based on a poem)
lyrics
a slow fade in on captain black
his weathered lips, they break and crack
one foot in and one foot back,
the closeup ends on captain black
the camera pans to ms. elizabeth
who finds herself in this predicament
she's two bucks shy and a heart so sick
the camera pans from ms. elizabeth
the next scene cuts to admiral grey
he cries all night and he works all day
the drift wood cracks and he begs her to stay
the credits role on admiral grey
