She's a captain
Undressing for the judge
She keeps a candle
Lit for everyone
She splits her time
Between Chicago and the sun
Making plans for summer
She's a captain's gun
Look at me in this state you cannot see
Looking through the mailbox tryna find some peace
She's a candlestick, she keeps herself lit for me
She's a captain, I'm the man that you can't see
In the summer
Between Chicago and the sun
It's such a gorgeous sight
But I'm blinded and I run
She's a captain
Between Memphis and the moon
I think she likes me
But I always think too soon
She's a captain
I'm trying to hold on
She's in Chicago
But I'm closer to the sun
She's a candlestick
I hope she lights the way
I hope she comes to me
And I'm hoping that she'll stay
