Lyrics

You swore the earth was round
And you said that there was no upside down
I hit the starship's left
Let the parallax flip like you showed me in the lighthouse
I did the math and it came up ones and o's

I know a girl who makes me shine
My dreamboat's leaving on a submarine
She packed a second set of tanks and all I ever want or need
I know a girl who makes me whine
While my dreamboat scatters all the sub-machines
She packed a second set of tanks and all I ever want or need

And you swore the earth was sound
And you said that we could go upside the ground
But the starfish sends in a message in code
That you can't see from the lighthouse
And we will dive in the afternoon

I took a simple time to wander
Engaging twilight through the trees
And she needs help among the kelp-ways
And I'm not tied to these, no I'm not tied to these

I know a girl who makes me shine
My dreamboat's leaving on a submarine
She packed a second set of tanks and a solar powered lung for me
And to the girl who makes me whine
While my dreamboat scatters all the sub-machines
She packed a second set of tanks
And all I ever want or need, for me, for me, for me
