right away great captain
i'll go where you need me
the banks of the north shore
or the hills i'll go fleeting
just give me one minute to tell my wife good bye
i loved her so dearly but its time to take real flight
on a dark desert road
or a middle sized fake show you lead me to. (its so dark in there)
well right away great captain
ill surely leave everything
god damned i love it
but god you mean more to me
than any three hole punched fake scripture could come from me
just know that i love you
but love's such a simile
for pearl gates of gold
i will do my best to meet you there half way
or the whole way
on a high way you know
where the ending will take place so beautifully
so beautifully
so beautifully
right away great captain
ill go where you want me to
don't make it much harder
than what i have gone through
if you've got your systems ill tear down these walls
you haven't seen devils till you've felt them all
you've got to be strong
ill take it back, if you let me
on a highway you know
i will do my best to meet you there
please don't leave
i wish you'd say please don't leave me
but darling i am leaving
i'll go where you need me
the banks of the north shore
or the hills i'll go fleeting
just give me one minute to tell my wife good bye
i loved her so dearly but its time to take real flight
on a dark desert road
or a middle sized fake show you lead me to. (its so dark in there)
well right away great captain
ill surely leave everything
god damned i love it
but god you mean more to me
than any three hole punched fake scripture could come from me
just know that i love you
but love's such a simile
for pearl gates of gold
i will do my best to meet you there half way
or the whole way
on a high way you know
where the ending will take place so beautifully
so beautifully
so beautifully
right away great captain
ill go where you want me to
don't make it much harder
than what i have gone through
if you've got your systems ill tear down these walls
you haven't seen devils till you've felt them all
you've got to be strong
ill take it back, if you let me
on a highway you know
i will do my best to meet you there
please don't leave
i wish you'd say please don't leave me
but darling i am leaving

"but god you mean more to me
than any three hole punched fake scripture could come from me"
i believe he is refrencing the songs that he writes "three hole punched fake scripture", and that God means more to him than any of songs he has written.
i think this whole song is about how all the gigs and shows and thats are his ultimate goal in life still fall short unless he is are following where God leads him.
love this song
poignancy of 'i wish you'd say please don't leave me' is gorgeous
it's a sad thing, to not be missed when you are missing
I'll go where you need me
The banks of the north shore
The hills I'll go fleeting
Just give me a minute to tell my wife goodbye
I love her so dearly but its time to take real flight
On a dark desert road
Or the middle sized fake show you lead me to, it’s so dark in there
Right away great captain
I’ll surely leave everything
God blessed I love you
But God you mean more to me
Than any three hole punched fake scripture could come from me
Just know that I love you
But love's such a simile
For pearl gates of gold
I will do my best to meet you there half way
Or the whole way
On a high way you know
Where the ending will take place so beautifully
So beautifully
So beautifully
Right away great captain
I’ll go where you want me to
Don't make it much harder
Than what I have gone through
If you've got your systems I’ll tear down these walls
You haven't seen devils ‘till you've seen them all
You've got to be strong
Well I’ll take you back, if you want me to
On a highway you know
I will do my best to meet you there
So please don't leave me
Please don't leave
Please don't leave
I wish you'd say please don't leave me
And I wish you'd say please don't leave me
And I wish you'd say please don't leave me, me
And I wish you'd say please don't leave me
And I wish you'd say please don't leave me
But darling I am leaving
Yeah I’m leaving
one of the best on the album.
