I LUV ZUZ DOT COM

Lyrics

If the double-row eighteen-cylinder
Air-cooled radial engine
Is not enough to tip you off
Before he slips you off the needle
Drops you into unstitched space
The wasteland which henceforth
Shall be referred to as "your place"

The captain lives by the sword
And the captain loves by the sword
When the captain dies by the sword
He'll leave you trapped in the cockpit
Crying out "Mayday!"

When a Scissor-tailed Flycatcher aerial courtship
Nosedives in a blitzkrieg from that Whiskey Delta
You can tell the backyard bomber
Never helmed a cargo crate
He croaks out undoing and doom
To the wishful safety net
You jeopardized your life to loom

The captain lives by the sword
And the captain loves by the sword
Once you elope with the captain
You'll leave on a sordid honeymoon
Trapped in the cockpit
Crying out "Mayday!"

Always the last and never the least
Always the fast and never the feast
Always the cult of domesticity
Always the jolts of electricity
Always surpassed and never decreased
Always amassed and never released
Always the past controls your mind
Never the peace you hoped to God you'd finally find

The captain lives by the sword
And the captain loves by the sword
And when he dies by the sword
He'll reward you for your obedience
For your countenance has woven in at every turn

Even as the back, even as the back
Of the hand
Even as the back, even as the
Of the hand still burns
Even as the back, even as the back
Of the hand still burns
From the last airstrike

Lyrics

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

I only think about it in the nighttime, always in the nighttime
Up too late, lying on the floor thinking, "I've been here for so long"
Just a little too long, think I need to get out of the door
But I've never been a brave one, always was a tame one
Always double-checked all that I knew
But that safety is a danger, yeah, there's only one way out, it's through

Oh, through and through
Oh, through and through, I'll find my way to you
Though I'll admit it may take me some time
Oh, through and through
Oh, through and through
I will be there for you even if we may seek a separate light

And I don't know what I've been waiting for
It feels like I'm always losing my way
I'm doubting every step I take
I know that everything finds its place
Although I wish I knew where to
I guess I'll have to see it through

Lyrics

Let them know they're on your mind
I wanna tell you you're on mine
Yeah, you're in there all the time
In my head, in my bed, in my brain, in every enzyme

I wanna see you in the light
I wanna see you when you're stressed, when you're angry
When you're happy, when you're fine
It's okay, I don't mind
Light a cigarette, you're allowed a little vice
Let 'em know they're on your mind

Baby feels like all her friends got it figured out
Baby's smokin' up the track, baby's burnin' out
Let me see your mind, I can't read the signs
Let me see you cry, let me see your insides

I wanna see you in the light
I wanna see you in the light

Hey, I've got nothin' to say
But I'm only comin' through to let you know you're on my mind
Sorry, I'm a little insane when I'm lonely, I'm just like you
Let them know they're on your mind

Lie on the light, see your body on the ceiling
You're a diagram of something I've been needing
You're so perfect that it kinda hurts my feelings
Wish there was a way for you to see what I am seeing right now

I wanna see you in your element (I wanna see you in the light)
I wanna love you for the hell of it (I wanna see you in the light)

Hey, I've got nothin' to say
But I'm only comin' through to let you know you're on my mind
Sorry, I'm a little insane when I'm lonely, I'm just like you
Let them know they're on your mind

Hey, I've got nothin' to say
But I'm only comin' through to let you know you're on my mind
Sorry, I'm a little insane when I'm lonely, I'm just like you
Let them know they're on your mind
Let them know they're on your mind (I'm just like you)
Let them know they're on your mind

Let them know they're on your mind
I've got nothin' to say
But I'm only coming through to let you know you're on my mind
I'm a little insane when I'm lonely, I'm just like you
Let them know they're on your mind
I've got nothin' to say
But I'm only coming through to let you know you're on my mind
I'm a little insane when I'm lonely, I'm just like you

Lyrics

I'm not yours, and you're not mine
But we can sit and pass the time
No fighting wars, no ringing chimes
We're just feeling fine

This is where we're supposed to be
Sitting by a broken tree
No tragedy, no poetry
Just staring at the sky

I could wait a thousand hours
Stay the same in sun and showers
Pick apart a hundred flowers
Just to be quiet
Tell me when you feel ready
I'm the one, there's not too many
Hold my hand to keep me steady
Just to be quiet with you
With you

I like it here beside you dear
You're even more than you appear
And in the clouds my head is clear
Every time you say hello

So here's my heart, and here's my mouth
And I can't help if things come out
'Cause there are words I want to shout
But maybe I'll stay low
