One-Way Sea

You tell me that the boat is moving forward
 Whatever that means when there is no land in sight
 I always pegged you as a shorebird
 But in light of certain facts
 I'm inclined to take it back
 Don't underestimate me
 This field of research is my specialty, my specialty
 I will crack this hierarchy
 If it is the death of me
 The death of me
 The death of me
 You tell me we are sailing on a one-way sea
 I nod my head and hold my tongue
 You are an idiot
 You gave me a bum steer, crowing of your lofty views
 I might have known you were
 A rooster in a booster seat
 Don't underestimate me
 Clearly there's no danger of my underestimating you!
 I will commandeer this vessel
 If it is the death of you
 The death of you
 ♪
 Must you respond so saltily
 My faculties
 Have long been
 Bursting at the seams
 Brimming as they are
 With onomies
 And ologies
 And memories
 Memories
 Memories
 Memories
 Don't esterundimate me
 I will hack this crierarchy
 Cut me, please
 A little slack, I mean
 Mental tacking's never been my specialty
 My knack is for a marked lack of strategy
 But spin around and take another whack at me
 Look back at me and see
 I will stack up properly
 If it is the death of me
 The death of me
 The death of me
 If it is the death of me
 The death of me
 The death of me
 If it is the death of me
 The death of me
 The death of me
 If it is the death of me
 The death of me
 The death of me
