The Wreck of S.S. Needle from Mariner

The members of his squad grow thick A testament to "get rich quick" No sign of mismatched features Secondary organs from within So on command they open Winding clockwork sirens as they come Scramble the rock face through the glare of morning sun – to run Your time is costlier than fine The wreck of S.S. Needle Simpletons that want all in and And render horror feeble Splinters always hide under the skin From glitter of the pin To brave a friend in battle comes The thimble with his sign: "You've got to spit to see the shine Let me see you run this gamut blind" Your voice, it shakes, you smile so dryly Let us see and touch you lightly The moon is so unseemly bright Cut your hair off, watch all night Like splinters always hide under the skin Like battles of the thimble and the pin Put me down where I can see you run Like battles of the thimble and the pin Put me down where I can see you run Your time is costlier than fine The wreck of S.S. Needle Simpletons that want all in and And render horror feeble Knees go down and up in time To sleep in foreign seas well Silence while we cross this spine Ring out the warning bell You've got to spit to see the shine Let me tell you – run and try to hide Put me down where I can see you run Put me down where I can see you run Put me down where I can see you run You run, you run, you run Put me down where I can see you run Put me down where I can see you run You run, you run, you run Put me down where I can see you run Put me down where I can see you run You run, you run, you run Put me down where I can see you run Put me down where I can see you run You run, you run, you run Put me down where I can see you run Put me down where I can see you run You run, you run, you run Put me down where I can see you run Put me down where I can see you run You run, you run, you run Put me down where I can see you run Put me down where I can see you run You run, you run, you run Put me down where I can see you run Put me down where I can see you run Put me down where I can see you run Put me down where I can see you run You run, you run, you run Put me down where I can see you run
