Cracked your window years ago
A sudden stop
I hit my head
That's when I cracked your window
Your fake cousin's my best friend
On Halloween
A blizzard stray
(no way)
The next day was a snow day
Spent the day with General Slocum
On a mighty ship
Don't lose your grip
Of the mighty steering wheel
Without you, don't know what to feel
It can't be real
Dreamed it's not your funeral
But someone close
You showed up too
Another chance to see you
Hear me shouting out your name
It makes no sense
I can't believe it
Things will never ever be the same
Something tells me
General Slocum's burning
Burning bright in the dead of night
Through the skylight shining through
Without you don't know what to do
It can't be true
Not you

Heard you freed the frayed balloons
You severed strings to float away
They're still floating to this day
Space technicians bow your heads
On spaceship Earth
Your General speaks
But your General is dead
Thinking of the reign of General Slocum
It will still go on
'Til your friends are gone
Like you went
We will join as one
But you won't-
You won't join us now that
Your days are done
You've wandered from
The world we live in
Now your time has come Slocum
