[Verse 1]
Periscope extends the lens
Veiny hands can’t mend
Your broken little baby’s remains
We all fall to bits just the same
Eyes down for a full house
Yeah, I love you long time
They christened me to give me a name
But now, I know that I’m to blame
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 2]
There was no man in his eyes
No lights to beam home those ships
Can’t even extend out his arm
To go and cash in his chips
I wish that I could not so rightly place this
But at least I can say that I was there
That I witnessed his demise
But you, my lucky son
Because of your size
You would not remember
[Chorus]
This has sent your only son
To an early grave
What you thought was an accident
Was deliberate
[Verse 3]
There’s a twitch in his hand
As I offered him mine
Our captain only cared about his crew
But you would not remember, would you?
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 4]
And if that time should come, my brother
That I should offer you my hand
You’ll know just what to do
What not to put me through
You must remember
[Chorus]
Come your expiration
Come your sell-by date
And there is no companion
It’ll be too late
Come your expiration
Come your sell-by date
And there is no companion
Oh, it’ll be too late
[Instrumental Break]
[Bridge]
And all this misfortune is punishment
He sings of gods that desert him
He falls again, but undeterred
He hides from the light
And all this misfortune is punishment
He sings of gods that desert him
He falls again, but undeterred
He hides from the light
