The Fall Of Captain EO - Factor Chandelier, Ceschi

Will we capsize gently or will we howl in fear

As the microscopic salt water animals fill our ears?

We can hold our breath our cheeks balloon

But every proper captain’s ready for a typhoon

Michael Jackson was declared dead at dusk and nobody gave a fuck —

Everybody could have sworn it was a stupid, but incredibly conceived, stunt

But the conspiracy theorists started coming up with the most unbelievable

scenarios

About masons, reptilians, and jacko séances with chimps and children

The media outlets started to question if it was a hoax

So they cautiously played Jackson 5 greatest hits on the outros of their shows

And didn’t even let out a whimper till the coroner leaked out the pictures

Of the king of pop’s body, bloated and rotting, wearing a crown in the LA River

Will we capsize gently or will we howl in fear

As the microscopic salt water animals fill our ears?

We can hold our breath our cheeks balloon

But every proper captain’s ready for a typhoon

Big Baby Jesus

I’ve encountered demons

And the mountains are covered in semen

While our communist daughters are falling asleep dreaming of a life with reason

But the light seems dim around these lives

And religion was never precise

So please hide in the dark, where the indiscrepancies of your face won’t shine

bright —

Sleep tight

The fucking stench of a regular life can nauseate

And poverty just seems to pollenate, all the allergies devastate

Oh, I still can’t decide between anonymity and a glorious ride…

Does it even matter anyway?

The king will always die

Will we capsize gently or will we howl in fear

As the microscopic salt water animals fill our ears?

We can hold our breath our cheeks balloon

But every proper captain’s ready for a typhoon

Listen up, little people, if you’re gonna go down

Make sure go down hard, and keep the scars!

I’ve seen dozens of daring men dangle desperately from the decks of many a barge

At one time they were the ones in charge, and once they lived life large…

But once is never enough to take a person out of a rut — tough luck —

The lightning dumb struck

I’ve seen the greatest men

Get swallowed by the bowels of the bubbling ocean

With its unforgiving overlords and terrible twisted teeth showing…

Peeling pink off of pursed lips

On the face of a perfect person

Desecrated by modernity’s worthless curses —

All the pessimism in these verses, bursting

Will we capsize gently or will we howl in fear

As the microscopic salt water animals fill our ears?

We can hold our breath 'til our cheeks balloon

But every proper captain’s ready for a typhoon

We won’t capsize gently, oh, we will howl in fear

As the microscopic salt water animals fill our ears

We can hold our breath 'til our cheeks balloon

But even captains will get swallowed by the typhoon
