lyrics

Verse:

I was mapping plot points
up and down the coast.
Looking for a way to win your vote
Just then I saw the holy ghost

In the pools of butter
gathered on my plate
I could see the outlines of your face
Everyone looks better in disgrace

Had a dream that nothing could explain
away

Chorus:

Take that look in your eye make a myth of it
Take a bit of it and put it in the sky
Who could ever have known it was ours to lose?
We were so confused we didn't know where to go

Verse:

Did you pledge allegiance
to a fluid state?
Did your land of birth just sublimate?
Don't fret: it's just a passing phase

Have you reached an impasse
at your port of call?
Is it just your syntax that's at fault?
Red-faced: everyone involved
Thank God, the consul took your call

Chorus:

Take that look in your eye make a myth of it
Take a bit of it and put it in the sky (oh, why...)
Who could ever have known it was ours to lose?
We were so confused we didn't know where to go

Bridge:

I tried to put it in reverse
Of course it's yours but it's been cursed
I tried to jump right off the train
Exactly why I can't explain...

Chorus:

Take that look in your eye make a mess of it
Take the rest of it and put it in your book (how does that look)
Who could ever have known it was ours to choose?
We were so confused we didn't know where to go
