lyrics

6. A first mate was handed to us
Who went by the name of Jack
But jack got hit by a runaway arc
And Laid out cold on his back
e thought he was dead
medics came in
And hauled what was left on a cot
Stayed that way for a couple of weeks
Don't know if he got up or not
Domine fili, Unigenite, Jesu Christe
Shipped out a crew
A crew on a launch
Still no response
to our radio calls
Out went the crew
They boarded the ship
This is all what they found
3 in the deck
2 in the bulkheads
1 with his head in the wall
The field collapsed
They started to drift
Some never came back at all
Sailors that waiver in some he
Swaying up high off the ground
These are the most desperate of men
lay your hands on them now
Domine fili, Unigenite, Jesu Christe

about

Wunderbar! 松山市, Japan

"Steam powered fantasia with a touch of the wild, wild west and one of a kind mechanical instruments. If Melies had been a songwriter instead of film director, his music would probably have sounded something like this."
