lyrics

Oh captain, my captain we lived to seize the day
We were drunk at sea when we made a wrong turn
Oh captain, my captain it looks like trecherous waters
We'll die at sea but we have an eternity to burn

So follow me down tonight, we'll sink with this ship
We set sail looking for something we knew we'd never find
This is how we lived, so this is the only way to die.

Oh captain, my captain we lived to seize the day
We were drunk at sea when we made a wrong turn
Oh captain, my captain it looks like trecherous waters
We'll die at sea but we have an eternity to burn

We'll float with our bottles of beer before we admit defeat
Hell isn't quite the punishment that it used to be
Nothing is as bad as dying just to chase your dreams

Oh captain, my captain we lived to seize the day
We were drunk at sea when we made a wrong turn
Oh captain, my captain it looks like trecherous waters
We'll die at sea but we have an eternity to burn

Promises me my last words won't be in vain
"I died for my sins but I wouldn't change a thing"

Oh captain, my captain we lived to seize the day
We were drunk when we made a wrong turn
Oh captain, my captain we're in trecherous waters
We'll die at sea but we have an eternity to burn
