Kimya Dawson - Captain Lou lyrics

When Michael died, people all over the world did the moon walk and the thriller When Patrick died, people all over the world tried to do that lift When Farrah died, people all over the world feathered their hair and put on hot pants When John Hughes died, people all over the world said Bueller, Bueller Well today we lost another hero Today we lost another friend Today we lost the world's greatest manager Today we lost the captain, yeah Today we lost the captain I hope a million elbows drop and a million heads get locked And a million beards get banded and a million bodies slammed A million piles driven and a million lives start living because you never, ever know when it will be your time to go No you never, ever know when it will be your time to go He was often imitated but you cannot duplicate the one who thought you how to win, the one who taught you how to have fun Really, really changed me as a kid back in the 80's The first time I saw him he seemed colorful and crazy In my baggy jams and my different color sneaks they could do what I could do and even if I got teased I know I'm not the only kid my age who feels they have to owe you You set a generation of freaks free with your persona With your rubber banded face and your rubber banded beard You gave a lot of kids permission to let out their inner weird So here's to you Captain Lou yeah, I love you yeah Captain Lou, Captain Lou yeah, I love you yeah [x4] I hope a million elbows drop and a million heads get locked And a million beards get banded and a million bodies slammed A million piles driven and a million lives start living because you never, ever know when it will be your time to go No you never, ever know when it will be your time to go [x4]
