Aerodynamic

8 plays

Phantom Island

A doorway opened

Endless ocean

Superhighway

Scoundrels unbind

The ship was gently swaying, cradled

Smooth sailing in a wintery July

The silence of the lifeless soul

Shimmers in the early morning glow

Like the chorus in a Greek tragedy

The thunder’s knock, knock, knocking

Devil's staring back at me, yeah


Lightning strikes upon the nose of my boat

As I’m shapeshifting and drifting

Trying to stay afloat

Crystal clear

I’ve got a vision of a deer in the headlights

The end is near

Without a fear in sight


The moon speaks to me this night (Yeah)

She says, "Follow my light"

"Like a moth's inner compass"

She says, "Chase what you can’t have

This land-borne curse clings to you like algae

If only you were a star, you’d be not sedentary"

I said, "I have always wondered if I could step out of my body

Would I be a fish out of water, or like a school in harmony?"

So, Miss Moon, if I could have one wish, I’d turn my hands into wings

I’d say goodbye to the fish and I'd jump from the highest cliff"

Yeah

(Woo!)


I wanna be aerodynamic


Woo!

Never gonna get there

Never gonna get there

Holy land is a figment

Never gonna get there

Never gonna get there

Sailing for infinity

Never gonna get there

Never gonna get there

Holy land is a figment

Never gonna get there

Never gonna get there

This ship is a shipwreck


I'm just floating away on this barrel of pain

Is this just me stranded at sea in a sailor’s dream?

I’ll just sing to the sharks, and maybe they’ll think twice

They’re just trying to survive in the world like me, alright

I ain’t got hope but I can’t help but smile

The forty-od thousand foot of tears won’t save me from an appetite

I accept my fate

My time is nigh

I’m just gonna sit here and watch the waves roll by


I wanna be aerodynamic
