The captain sleeps, but does she dream?
And if she dreams, what does she see?
What's a conscience when unconscious
Under covers or under a mask?
Does she lie awake and think about
The strange habits of the upper class?

No, the sleeping pills suffice to hold that back

The captain sleeps, but does she dream? (she dreams!)
And if she dreams, does she dream of a station-house crumbling into the sea?
Or a circuit judge made of oranges
Burning in the Californian heat?
The smell is kind of sticky, and then it's kind of sweet
Sticky and then it sticks all in her teeth

But the sleeping pills suffice to keep 'em clean

The captain sleeps, and she has bad dreams (bad dreams!)
But she won't reach that crystal shore
Or the orange space in-between the doors 
that will click twice, and then you push
For twenty-five years or more
And though she might flick the light switch on the wall
Though she might call her own name
She can't erase the faces she locked into a cage
And though she knows it's all just in her head,

The sleeping pills suffice to keep her in
Oh, the sleeping pills will suffice to keep her in the dream

The captain sleeps, and then she wakes up
Sayin' "what was this dream that was given to me?"
But as she thinks about it, her dream fades away,
And she rolls out of bed and makes herself a cup of coffee
And goes to work again another day
And goes to work again another day, knowing

The waking life will suffice to keep it hid
Knowing the waking life will suffice to keep those kinds of things hid
Away
Away
Away
Away

And such things leave no trace
So, I guess a story like this 
Is all speculation, anyway
