about

All proceeds from this track/album go to support j.huzzah's son's cystic fibrosis. (Or, more accurately, the fight against it.)

lyrics

He came aboard with a ghost in tow
And blood upon his hands
Said, “Cut the lines, unlash the sails
And say goodbye to land.
Your Captain here, he killed a man
To pawn his golden clasp
And now we see if the law finds me
Or if their reach exceeds their grasp.
So raise your hand to turn and run
And turn your back on me and gun.”
It was all hands down.

“Captain,” I said, “Where do our fortunes be?”
“A fortune like milk or children,”
He said, “spoils easily.
Your sorrows tell you fortune
Is the alchemy of bliss
The only things we turn to gold
Are clouds and rain to piss.”
I heard him whisper Neptune’s name
To take the law, his crew, his shame
And let the sea be freedom

Send me wind and fire
To sail away
Fulfill my black desire
The captain said
Neptune turn the sky
to pitch from grey
And let fire rain down

Hail severed the sail and rig
Gale snapped through the mast like twigs
Brine filled up the hold like blood
The ship filled with a hellish flood
And as the plank I clung to sank
The captain seemed to rise
Into a ship of ghostly war
To roam the waves forevermore
As the sea calls me home

A salty ocean whore, a sailor’s dame
To die on captain’s orders, a sailor’s way
A bed on Neptune’s floor, a sailor’s pay
All hands down.

Effervescent. Tangy. Juicy. Bittersweet. Yoho chimpo exists only in the mind of the beholder. The band, j. huzzah! Grilch, and Tylor Neist slow-roast their albums. Perfect flavor takes time.
