morning is born, 6:24
gabriella wasn t sure if she was really sleeping

doing her chores
like watching neighbor s tv through the kitchen window
yeah

the door growled on its hinges
early wind has searching fingers
gabriella hung the black laundry dry

there s dead wood burning out here shout out
out here come beautiful fireflies
is this as far as I can get, she says, on one tank of gas
when I m with captain madness
is it as much as I can live before I vanish in a guess
when I m with captain madness?

on the cusp
of aquarius
captain s not with the status quo gurus

he keeps mixing life and love with quick cement
like her heart is vacant room to rent
and he stirs it with a wooden spoon

this is as far as I can get, she said, on one tank of gas
when I m with captain madness
it s as much as I can give before I vanish in a guess
when I m with captain madness
I m packin up my broom and my pointed shoes
and sail from captain madness
I must be on my way but did love to be with you
my captain madness

you are a hollow man
I am hollow too
doubt keeps dripping through these cracks
I don t know how it happened
I never cast a spell on you

far as I can get on one tank of gas
when I m with captain madness
it s as much as I can love before I vanish in a guess
when I m with captain madness
I m packin up my broom and my pointed shoes
and sail from captain madness
and I must be on my way but I did love to be with you
my captain madness
yeah
