Captain Nemo

For some reason this one just popped into my head. One of Sarah's better songs (if you consider that god awful "Starship Trooper" video you'll know what I mean).

Looking for vengeance won't get you very far. A motto that I've pretty much always followed. I think if even Captain Nemo can learn this one (in this song), just walk away... Just go home.

Under the surface so crystal clear
Everyone was really tense
Waiting down there
He had his own world just like I had mine
We'll go separate ways 'til the next time
There are no words to say as
My friend swims away

Captain Nemo said, "okay"
(five, four, three, two, one)
Then I raised my hand and waved
Captain Nemo went away
(Love me when I'm gone)
Left me all alone, Nemo's going home

And as I watched him, police boats approached
An alien force haunting us like ghosts
"Wish I could stay here and play for a while
But I must be on my way..."
The warmest of smiles
Then he dived into the waves among the other whales

Captain Nemo said, "okay"
(five, four, three, two, one)
Then I raised my hand and waved
Captain Nemo went away
(Love me when I'm gone)
Left me all alone, Nemo's going home...


I guess sometimes it's just better to just wave and not say a word.
