LWS Captain:
"Why should I be hypnotized,
By the promise of a long life?
Why should I hold hope,
In tiny, tiny dribbles that glide by?
Why should I lean on everything... upon
I won't be here long....
Oh, I know I'm a dreamer,
Still seems a truth.
I won't be long for here.
Oh, it's so, but I think I lay this,
On now your lips.
I'm drowning.
I am the captain of... oh... But, I'll be okay after all."
BS Captain
"Same old song won't you come stay all my life after all
Oh how could I even try to fight after falling into your arms?
Oh mesmerized by your smile the way it lights up under your eyes
Oh how could I even try love won't you stay with me?
Oh our love - how you do me
Oh my love - come now lets go again
Oh our love - everything
Oh won't play with me again we got all night
The same old song
Won't you come dance with me my love after all?"
To be honest, I think it is self-explanatory towards which is better, and why they can be interpreted very differently.
