Lyrics

[Verse 1]
As I glance once upon the foam
Forty feet beneath my feet
The coldest calm falls through the molten veins
Cooling all the blood to slush, congeals around again
[Chorus]
Oh-oh, la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la-la, la
La-la-la-la, la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
Oh, and forty feet remain
[Verse 2]
Salt scales upon my drying arms
Burn my back beneath the sun
But I am cold beneath the burning haze
Looking down, looking down, down, down again
[Chorus]
Oh-oh, la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la-la, la
La-la-la-la, la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
Oh, and forty feet remain
[Chorus]
La-la-la-la, la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la, la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la, la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la, la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
Oh, and forty feet remain
Written by: Alex Kapranos, Nicholas McCarthy
