Is it safe to say that everything eventually leaves?
Even spouses with too many pet peeves
Captain Reality has more tricks for you up his sleeve
More convenient ways to make you grieve,

Landed a big business deal I could bank on
Felt like everything worked with the grace of a swan
But Captain Reality is the devil’s spawn
I’m broke now and my account is overdrawn,

Just bought the house of our dreams
But everything is not the way it seems
With smoke, flame, and tearful screams
Captain Reality surveys the awful scene,

Just completed a grueling mountain climb
While on the summit I didn’t see the signs
Got hit by a winter storm that blinds
For Captain Reality it was divine,

Just when you have found a way to cope
Captain Reality will dash all your hopes
On the rocks of slippery slopes
Now he’s got you on the ropes!

Just let me try to clue you in
You might run into this evil twin
Who’ll make you wish you’d never been
Take my advice before Captain Reality rolls the dice.
