My Sad Captains Elbow

[Verse 1]
I'm running out of miracles
(Oh, my soul)
And the streets are lined with one-man shows
(Oh, my soul)
The corner boys were moved along
(Oh, my soul)
We're plummeting like crippled crows
(Oh, my soul)

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, long before
You and I were born
Others beat these benches with their empty cups
To the night and its stars
To be here and now, and who we are

[Chorus]
Another sunrise with my sad captains
With who I choose to lose my mind
And if it's so we only pass this way but once
What a perfect waste of time

[Verse 2]
The BMX apothecary
(Oh, my soul)
The architect of infamy
(Oh, my soul)
For each and every train we missed
(Oh, my soul)
A bitter little Eucharist
(Oh, my soul)
