and life was good for every body

life is good for everyone

Captain Margot found a gold coin

and he polished it at night

using the reflector from a bike wheel

VERSE 2

captain margot showed up married

on the 4th day of september

honey on the back side of some wheat toast

she spread, and bit

she smiled, and spread

and life was good for everybody

life was good for everyone

and captain margot says a sailor

feels the salt course in his veins

and has no need for explanation

he sails, he floats

he smiles and sails

and life is good for everybody

life is good for everyone

BRIDGE

but there's a thin line of difference

between aesthetics and emotion

one might please the view,

one torments by touchless wonder

FINALE

Am D

And life is good for everybody, life is good for everyone <3x>

G

BUT, CAPTAIN...
