Duration: P00H03M54S
Description: Once upon a time, in the middle of the pacific ocean, around the year 1886, a wild captain decided to build a machine aboard his ship. The crew became worried and heard loud sounds in the night. Soon they found that the anchor was missing. Then various bolts. Next someone couldn't find the cannon. Could it be that the Captain took all of these below in order to build something otherworldly?

lyrics

he's all alone now
in the middle of the night
he's shaking strings
and breaking things

he takes the anchor
shoves it on deck
catches the cold dead
electricity

captain call us
tell us what you're doing down there please
captain call us
tell us what you're doing down there please
before we freeze

all the waters,
turning to steam
and they can hear the sounds
of man and machine

take us to shore now
this boat is a lie
how can a sailors knot
be so hard to tie
