Guided by Voices

Navigating Flood Regions

Spy! shouted the crew, Lets string him up

Wise off to the captain, now wheres my coffee cup?

And its been an adventurous day

The ship floats, but it wont float away

Lets us stay

Don your favorite costume, here we go

Belt a song from your lungs real long and slow

And youre doing a wonderful job

Shaping up with a competent mob

Its your job

Its as long as wide and just beginning

Been around for eons just like me

Grab your money and lets go for all the winnings

Cast your soul into the jagged sea

Its the number on your head

Now youre dead

Stuff you down the barrel of a cannon

Let you see the world as something to see

Take you to the corners of the playground

Let you watch the traffic through the trees

Its the number on your head

Now youre dead

And well run as the war trumpet blows

And the judge with the list of no-shows
