The Fish Rots From the Head Case Down Songtext
von Joey Cape

I was once aboard that pirate ship
With tales of angst and insolence
They stole all but my integrity
But my muses live forever in a line of casualties
And the captain has a body count
The fish rots from the head-case down
We were all the less for losing teeth
If our journey stood for nothin′
But the whims of piracy
They call down the plague
And call it a karmic disease
We call ourselves cursed men
Posing as Libertines So here you are
Not far from where we started
You wrote the darkest book
As you departed
So drink to the bottom one last time my friends
Tonight
When I think about our legacy
Swimming shark infested seas
I would gladly crawl under that rock
To miss the next whatever
And you would be gone forever
But we wouldn't be gone for good
