The Mutineer

(Album: JT XX - 2022)

Packed my bags and I kissed my wife
Signed my name to the dotted line
Sold my soul for the piece of my mind
Give it all up for a pirate's life
And, oh-ay-oh, for to find my fortune in space
I joined up to the first crew I could find
Held my own and I towed the line
Drown my worry in a glass of wine
Did my duty and I did my time
And, oh-ay-oh, for to find my fortune in space

Oh, fear, fear the mutineer
The devil's in a slick veneer
Hope is lost when evil's near
All fear the mutineer
Hidden in the light of day
Come to steal my fortune away

The devil took us one by one
Dillon's dead and Fritzy's gone
Iggy's lust for life has faded, Collin got decapitated
Oh-ay-oh, for to find my fortune in space
I no longer sleep at night, the captain is an awful sight
Greyish skin, and blackened eyes, where'd he get that fricking knife?
Oh-ay-oh, for to find my fortune in space

Oh, fear, fear the mutineer
The devil's in a slick veneer
Hope is lost when evil's near
All fear the mutineer
Hidden in the light of day
Come to steal my fortune away
Oh, fear, fear the mutineer
The devil's in a slick veneer
Hope is lost when evil's near
All fear the mutineer
Hidden in the light of day
Come to steal my fortune away

Wish that I could see my wife, and leave behind this wretched life
Cuddle up inside our bed, and chase the demons from my head
But oh-ay-oh, for to find my fortune in space
If I could only go back home, instead of dying here alone
I'd see the joy in what I had, and know that life was not so bad
And, oh-ay-oh, for to find my fortune in space

Oh, fear, fear the mutineer
The devil's in a slick veneer
Hope is lost when evil's near
All fear the mutineer
Hidden in the light of day
Come to steal my fortune away
Oh, fear, fear the mutineer
The devil's in a slick veneer
Hope is lost when evil's near
All fear the mutineer
Hidden in the light of day
Come to steal my fortune away
Hidden in the light of day
Come to steal my fortune away
