Lyrics

[Verse 1]
A doorway opened
Endless ocean
Super highway
Scoundrels unbind
The ship was gently swaying, cradled
Smooth sailing in a wintery July
The silence of a lifeless soul
Shimmers in the early morning glow
Like the chorus in a Greek tragedy
The thunder's knock, knock, knocking
Devil's staring back at me, yeah
[Verse 2]
Lightning strikes upon the nose of my boat
As I'm shape-shifting and drifting, trying to stay afloat
Crystal clear, I got the vision of a deer in the headlights
The end is near without a fear in sight
[Verse 3]
The moon speaks to me this night
She says, "Follow my light
Like a moth's inner compass"
She says, "Chase what you can't have
Oh, this land-borne curse clings to you like algae
If only you were a star, you'd be not sedentary"
I said, "I have always wondered
If I could step out of my body
Would I be a fish out of water
Or like a school in harmony?
So, Miss Moon, if I could have one wish
I'd turn my hands into wings
I'd say goodbye to the fish
And I'd jump from the highest cliff"
Yeah
I wanna be aerodynamic
[Chorus]
Never gonna get there, never gonna get there
Holy land is a figment
Never gonna get there, never gonna get there
Sailing for infinity
Never gonna get there, never gonna get there
Holy land is a figment
Never gonna get there, never gonna get there
This ship is a shipwreck
[Verse 4]
I'm just floating away on this barrel of pain
Is this just me stranded at sea in a sailor's dream?
I'll just sing to the sharks and maybe they'll think twice
They're just trying to survive in the world like me, alright
I ain't got hope, but I can't help but smile
That forty odd thousand foot of tears won't save me from an appetite
I accept my fate, my time is nigh
I'm just gonna sit here and watch the waves roll by
[Outro]
I wanna be aerodynamic
