sailing man

oh captain

my captain

time to escape

'cause i'm done wasting away

there's always a someone who wants you to stay

but why? oh

why?

you command me to listen

you beg me to wait

but i keep drifting away

'cause i know you'll make sense if i let you explain

i am the reason for this treason but it ain't no fault of mine

forgiving and forgetting the line is very fine

baby i am what i am

i'm gonna be a sailing man away from land

i ain't got nobody to hold me down

baby you can't understand

i wanna be a sailing man away from land

i ain't got nobody to hold me now

no

oh captain

my captain

take me away

'cause i'm getting wasted again

i know how you feel so get on with your grieving

you better believe it

i'm leaving

my mind is a blister

jack with a twist yeah

nobody taught me to stop

relieve me the pressure 'cause i'm gonna drop

i am the reason for this treason but it ain't no fault of mine

forgiving and forgetting the line is very fine

baby i am what i am

i'm gonna be a sailing man away from land

i ain't got nobody to hold me down

baby you can't understand

i wanna be a sailing man away from land

i ain't got nobody to hold me now

no

i don't like it

i don't like it

i've got a feeling that it's good

and i don't like it

i can't stand it

i don't like it

i just don't give a damn

baby i am what i am

i'm gonna be a sailing man away from land

i ain't got nobody to hold me down

baby you can't understand

i wanna be a sailing man away from land

i ain't got nobody to hold me now

no

i'm gonna be a sailing man!
