[Looking The Wrong Way] Through The Telescope / paypal.me/aircrashdetectives

Chorus

I used to see so far

I tried to see things right

But these days I am struggling

To tell the day from night

I am scanning the horizon

For that thing that they call hope

And there I found my problem

I was looking the wrong way

Through the telescope

Verse 1

The sea can be deceiving

And the land can be so cruel

A pirate’s always thieving

Like a lad from Liverpool

Trying to get to Shangri-la

Before the bar calls time

That’s when my agoraphobia

Kicks in, turns me into Frankenstein

Verse 2

I signed up for adventure

On a Spanish cargo boat

I took my electronics

And threw them overboard

I heard a threat like Franco

From the captain and his crew

I poured them all a Jack and Coke

We escaped from everything that we ever knew

Verse 3

The sun can make you loony tunes

Without water you will die

Rubbing salt into the wound

Will make a grown man cry

On the day of reckoning

There is an angel and a gun

The flashing juke box has one last tune

Ready for selection
