Scenes From Bellevue Park

from Scenes From Bellevue Park by Jacksonport

lyrics

Seymour is the Captain
he’s standing at the mast and
looking out upon a world, divine

Angela the First Mate
is not serving as roommate
and playing with a favorite ball of twine

Mickey and Michaela
are talking ‘bout the sailor
who stole Pruscilla’s husband in the war

Nikki and Juanito are missing the casino
where Eddie had a lucky streak before

watching day turn to dark
scenes from Bellevue Park

Betty came to see me
with a little dog named Kiki
who prefers other dogs to human friends

I’m sipping on a tulip and smelling a fresh Julep
when the cops come by to tell us off, again

Captain Seymour’s crying-
he scraped his knee while trying
to climb a tree while Mama looked away

Daddy drops the bottle, Mama runs full throttle
Daddy sips while Mama saves the day

watching day turn to dark
scenes from Bellevue Park
