Cabin Fever
4
The Captain's fore-arm like bunched-up rope
5
with A-N-I-T-A wrigglin' free on a skull''dagger
6
and a portrait of Christ, nailed to an anchor
7
etched into his upper...
8
O o o' Cabin Fever!
9
O o o' Cabin Fever!
10
Slams his fucken tin-dish down
11
Our Captain, takes time to crush
12
Some Bloo-Bottles glowin in his gruel
13
with a lump in his throat, and lumpy mush
14
Thumbing a scrapbook stuck up with clag
15
and a morbid lump of Love in his flags.
16
Done is the Missing, now all that remain
17
Is to sail forever, upon the stain
18
Cabin Fever! O o o' Cabin Fever!
19
The captain's free-hand is a cleaver
20
which he fashions his beard, ' he rations his jerkey!
21
and carves his peg outa the finest mahagony!
22
Or was it Ebony? etc...
23
Tallies up his loneliness, notch by notch
24
For the sea offers nuthin to hold or touch
25
Notch by notch, winter by winter
26
Notch x notch, winter x winter
27
Now his leg is whittled, right down to a splinter
28
O o Cabin Fever! O o o Cabin Fever!
29
O the rollin sea still rollin on!
30
She's everywhere! now that she's gone! Gone! Gone!
31
O Cabin Fever! O Cabin Fever!
32
Welcome to his table, Beloved-Unconscious
33
Raisin her host of hair from her crooks
34
and strugglin to summony one of her looks!
35
His arm now like coiled s-s-s-snakes
36
Whips all the bottles that he's drunken,
37
like crystal - skittles about the cabin,
38
of a ship they'd been sailing
39
Five years sunken... etc...
