For Ickles Nickles

Heard this song the other day and you popped right into my head. This is Nick's song. Pass it along, will ya, Zeek?

Flying Dutchman
Tori Amos

Hey kid, I've got a ride for you
they say your brain is a comic book tattoo
and you'll never be anything

"what will you do with your life"
oh, that's all you hear from noon till night

take a trip on a rocket ship, baby
where the sea is the sky
I know the guy who runs the place
and he's out of sight

flying dutchman, are you out there
flying dutchman, are you out there
flying dutchman, are you out there

straight suits, they don't understand
she tried, that one, with the alligator boots
but the other side drew her in

heart falling fast when she left
even the milky way was dressed in black

take a trip on a rocket ship, baby
the sea is the sky
I know the guy who runs the place
and he's out of sight


flying dutchman, are you out there
flying dutchman, are you out there
flying dutchman

'cause they can't see what you're born to be
they can't see me

they can't be what they can't believe
they can't see what you see

they'll keep the boys spinning in their own little world
tie 'em up and so we won't say a word
they'll keep the boys spinning in their own little world
so afraid he'll be what they never were

take a trip on a rocket ship, baby
the sea is the sky
I know the guy who runs the place
and he's out of sight

flying dutchman, are you out there
flying dutchman, are you out there
flying dutchman

'cause they can't see
'cause they can't see
'cause they can't see
are you still out there
