Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You're such a mystery
I just wanna stand and stare
Nibble on your ear
And smell the ocean in your hair (Ocean in your hair, ocean in your hair)
I know you damage me
You leave me tangled in a knot (Oh, oh, oh, oh)
But when you reappear
I see Neptunian blues that eyes forgot (Eyes forgot)
Neptunian blues that eyes forgot (Blues that eyes forgot, eyes forgot)
[Verse 2]
Still, I only feel alive when the VU is flashin'
Alarms goin' off in my head
I want to grab you and just kiss you
Maybe I should sit down
No sense in cashing us now
Yeah, I only feel alright when the VU is flashin'
And a bomb's goin' off in my head
I want to grab you, want to scream at you, no icing me down
The party's crashing us now
The party's crashing us now
[Verse 3]
Oh, well, we made love
Like a pair of black wizards
You freed me from the past
You fucked the suburbs outta me (The suburbs out of me)
All of those ugly days
That made us so sick (Oh, oh, oh, oh)
They are just fossils now
We've learned the elevating trick (Elevating trick, elevating trick)
We've learned the elevating trick (Elevating trick, elevating trick)
[Verse 4]
Still, I only feel alive when the VU is flashin'
Alarms goin' off in my head
I want to grab you and just kiss you
Maybe I should come down
No sense in cashing us now
Still, I only feel alive when the VU is flashin'
And a bomb's goin' off in my head
I want to grab you, want to scream at you, no icing me down
The party's crashing us now
The party's crashing us now
[Verse 5]
I only feel alright when the VU is flashin'
Alarms goin' off in my head
I want to grab you, want to scream at you, no icing me down
The party's crashing us now
I only feel alright when the VU is flashin'
And a bomb's goin' off in my head
I want to grab you and just kiss you
Maybe I should sit down
No sense in cashing us now
[Verse 6]
Party's crashing us now
