Crazy as I may Make my way through this world Oh, it's for no one but me to say What direction I should turn in now 'Cause I am the captain of this ship Wanting eyes and kissing lips The same as it was And will remain until I'm done and gone Strange, but it seems There's mutiny brewing inside of me now I don't want your pity Just the promise that I'll be alright 'Cause I am the captain of this ship Curious hands and fingertips The same as it was And will be until I'm gone Oh, I know I'm a dreamer Still think it's strange? I won't be here for long Oh, I know that I feel Oh, wait and go again, again Oh, look, I'm buried Like a cancer eating away inside of me I don't want your pity Only the promise that I'll be okay now But I am the captain of this ship Curious hands and fingertips The same as it was before here Here, back after all Why should I be hypnotized By the promise of a long life? Why should I hold hope In tiny, tiny dribbles that glide by? Why should I lean on everything upon? I won't be here long Oh, I know I'm a dreamer Still seems a truth I won't be long for here Oh, it's so, but I think I lay this On now your lips I'm drowning I am the captain of, oh, but, I'll be okay after all
