Black Francis - Captain Pasty [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

I'm a captain in the flying corp
I find the farm is a super bore
The world is small when I'm in the air
The universe, it don't make me scared, no

I'm a zipper in the metal mule
I'm a sipper of the rocket fuel
I've seen my friends take the blessed dive
I'm just-a lucky to-a be alive

Don't take your eyes off Captain Pasty
High in the skies of alabaster faces
Don't take your eyes off Captain Pasty

In the battle I'm my mother's son
I love the rattle of the melting gun
When Mars attacked with a million hits
I seen my friends in a billion bits

Don't take your eyes off Captain Pasty
High in the skies of alabaster faces
Don't take your eyes off Captain Pasty

Captain Pasty, please report to the tarmac for a very important assignment
Godspeed

Don't take your eyes off Captain Pasty
High in the skies of alabaster faces
Don't take your eyes off Captain Pasty

Hang on, baby, I'm-a really fast
Past is future and the future's past
The past is something I don't wanna know
Sorry, baby, I gotta go

Don't take your eyes off Captain Pasty
High in the skies of alabaster faces
Don't take your eyes off Captain Pasty
