Marlow

from Mackerel by Sandtimer

lyrics

Hey, I know, you lost count after 500 miles 'cause the next one's too slow.
Hey, I know, you lost track after all that time 'cause there's nowhere left to go, go, go.
Hey, I know, so steadily you navigate with your conscience in tow.
Hey, ho, you lost track after all that time, 'cause there's nowhere left to go.

Captain Marlow rolling to the station,
floating down the Congo for his confrontation.
And all the while you count the cost of all you've plundered, all you've lost.
You're far beyond the turning back, you're caught in the thread of the ripcord's slack.
And all the while you count the cost of all you've plundered, all you've lost.
You're far beyond the turning back, your bags are packed, you know. Now go, go, go

Hey, I know, keep your feet on the right track even if it's going wrong.
Hey, I know, keep your eye on the smoking ship it's going, going, gone, gone, gone.
Hey, I know, 'God is live'- he's on the stage (could he have been there too long?)
Hey, ho, what an empty phrase, a turn of the page, just to keep things moving on.

Captain Marlow rolling to the station,
floating down the Congo for his confrontation.
And all the while you count the cost of all you've plundered, all you've lost.
You're far beyond the turning back, you're caught in the thread of the ripcord's slack.
And all the while you count the cost of all you've plundered, all you've lost.
You're far beyond the turning back, your bags are packed, you know. Now go, go, go
