periscope extends the lens   veiny hands can't mend your broken little babies remains   we all fall to bits just the same   eyes down for a full house   yeah i love you long time   they christened me just to give me name   now i know that i'm to blame      there was no man in his eyes   and no lights to beam home those ships   can't even extend out his arm   to go and cash in his chips   i wish that i could not so rightly place this      but least i can say that i was there   that i witnessed his demise   but you my lucky son   because of your size   you would not remember      this has sent your only son   to an early grave   what you thought was an accident    was deliberate      there was a twitch in his hand   as i offered him mine   but our captain only cared about his crew   but you just would not remember would you      and when that time does come my brother   and i should offer you my hand   you'll know just what to do   what not to put me through   you must remember      come your expiration   come your sell by date   and there is no companion   it'll be too late   come your expiration   come your sell by date   and there is no companion   it'll be too late      all this misfortune is punishment   he sings of gods that desert him   he falls again   but undeterred he hides from the light
