Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Open your mouth wide
The universal sigh
And while the ocean blooms
It's what keeps me alive
[Verse 2]
So why does this still hurt?
Don't blow your mind with whys
[Verse 3]
I'm movin' out of orbit
(Turnin' in somersaults)
Turnin' in somersaults
(A giant turtle's eye)
A giant turtle's eye
(As jellyfish float by)
Jellyfish float by
(It's what keeps me alive)
Written by: Colin Greenwood, Ed O'Brien, Jonny Greenwood, Phil Selway, Thom Yorke
