Captain's Refusal

You had your turn when the captain refused
To see how the ship was burnt that night
All mission wise (don't recall the date)
They got me confused

Response to a charge, they blamed me
The wrong man walks
Returning
Where the story ends
Who will never?
Calling from Bonn

(phone tapped for so long)
An esteem to preserve
I didn't expect the crew was
Bribed there before

Returning
Where the story ends
Rough styrofoam junk
They float in
