lyrics

Come with me we’ll flee this city
Hope aboard my sinking ship
The ocean waves know no pity
We’ll be ghost pirates on the midnight drift.

Let’s throw rocks into the ocean,
Our wallets and our purses too.
If we set our hearts in motion,
There ain’t nothing we can’t do.

ON FRIDAY NIGHTS WE’LL BURN THIS CITY
And wear skinny jeans to mask the scars
NO HEIGHTS WILL EVER MAKE US DIZZY
‘Cause our peaks lie off so far, so far.

WE CAN MARCH TO AN UNVOICED BANNER
But who’d be there to lead the way
TO BETRAY US ALL WITH LIES AND PANDER
Just like the one’s in olden days.

UNDERGROUND THERE’S A WHOLE NEW CITY
Of philistines and bourgeois-versed
WHO DRINK ALL NIGHT AND DON’T GROW WEARY
Cause even Jesus Christ died of thirst

I bet Jesus was a lonely sailor
He kissed his betrayer on the lips
But I’m a different kind of sailor,
I prefer the music of your hips.
