Captain Pasty Lyrics - Singles - Black Francis

I'm a captain in a flying crew 

I find the farm is a super bore 

The world is small when I'm in the air 

The universe, it don't make me scared, no 

I'm a zipper in a metal mule 

I'm a sipper of a rocket fuel 

I see my friends take the blessed dive 

I'm just lucky to be alive 

Don't take your eyes off Captain Pasty 

High in the skies of alabaster faces 

Don't take your eyes off Captain Pasty 

Even better, I'm a mother's son 

I love the rattle of the melting gun 

We must attack when they flee and hiss 

I see my friends in a million bits 

Don't take your eyes off Captain Pasty 

High in the skies of alabaster faces 

Don't take your eyes off Captain Pasty 

Captain Pasty, please report to the tarmac 

For a very important assignment 

Godspeed 

Don't take your eyes off Captain Pasty 

High in the skies of alabaster faces 

Don't take your eyes off Captain Pasty 

Hang on baby, I'm a bit a fast 

Present future and the future past 

Tells me something I don't wanna know 

So I do ya then I go 

Don't take your eyes off Captain Pasty 

High in the skies of alabaster faces 

Don't take your eyes off Captain Pasty
