I've come down with something.
I'm frozen, tied up, cast in lead.
It's simple, so says the captain.
Face forward, move slow, forge ahead. [ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/g/guster/the_captain.html ]
I'm earning a reputation.
My conscience, mistrust, and regret.
Courageous, just like the captain.
Marching forward, with no doubt in his head.
