If I was John Wayne
I wouldn't have to buy a permit
For my weapons or my actions
I'd just do it and be done
But for now I'll stand in line
I'll tap my foot and twitch
And wait my time
And I'll call you once or twice

And weeks'll pass me by
I'll sit and knit myself a sweater
From the bees that swarm around me
And encapsulate my chest
It's dangerous, I know
But if you track all of the patterns
They will sting in constellations
That can illustrate the path of your pulse

And someday before I die
I'll try and build myself a ship
And then I'll call myself "The Admiral"
And buy myself a hat
And when the wind is blowing strong
I'll turn the wheel toward the horizon
And wait for birds to fly
So I can watch their feathers fall into the sea
Oh, albatross, you will come back to me

You're standing on the deck
Got salt in your hair
And the waves are all tumbling down
Pinned a medal to your chest
And, lest you digress
You are the meanest legionnaire in this whole town
And you can go rest easy now
'Cause you've got all those doors locked down

You're standing on the deck
Got salt in your hair
And the waves are all tumbling down
Pinned a medal to your chest
And, lest you digress
You are the meanest legionnaire in this whole town
And you call yourself "The Admiral"
If that's your aim
But you're not that admirable
We're all the same

La da-da da-da-da
Da-da-da da-da-da
Da-da-da-da-da
La da-da da-da-da
Da-da-da da-da-da
Da-da-da-da-da

La da-da da-da-da
Da-da-da da-da-da
Da-da-da-da-da
La da-da da-da-da
Da-da-da da-da-da
Da-da-da-da-da

La da-da da-da-da
Da-da-da da-da-da
Da-da-da-da-da
La da-da da-da-da
Da-da-da da-da-da
Da-da-da-da-da

And we all wade away
And we all wade away
Well, you're standin' on the deck
Got salt in your hair
And the waves are all tumbling down
Pinned a medal to your chest
And, lest you digress
You are the meanest legionnaire in this whole town
And we all wade away

And you call yourself "The Admiral"
If that's your aim
But you're not that admirable
We're all the same 

And we all wade away
And we all wade away
And you call yourself "The Admiral"
If that's your aim
But you're not that admirable
We're all the same
