[Intro] (Da da da da da da da)[x2] [Verse 1] My rock candy pa**ion is bittersweet And armed to the teeth 'Cause she would rather fall in chocolate Than fall in love Especially with me I stood under the waterfall With a kiwi-pineapple parasol As Cinderella dropped the crystal ball And made a concrete cavern A caterpillar concert hall [Chorus: Adam Young (Lights)] I wish that we could sail our sad days away Forever In deep blue seas of paper mâché (Let's dance in the moonlight) A barracuda chased our dog days away Forever Let's sink or swim 'til we fall in love (And dance in the moonlight) When we join the yacht club [Verse 2: Adam Young (Lights)] I would rather go swimming With great white sharks Than wade in romance 'Cause I can never find the courage To ask her to dinner Or even to dance (Let's dance in the moonlight) Don't sweat under your overcoat 'Cause my heart can harbor this paddle boat You'll hit the bottom of the highest note And the chatty tree frogs will never wanna Leave your throat
[Chorus: Adam Young (Lights)] I wish that we could sail our sad days away Forever In deep blue seas of paper mâché (Let's dance in the moonlight) A barracuda chased our dog days away Forever Let's sink or swim 'til we fall in love (And dance in the moonlight) When we join the yacht club [Bridge] Da da da da, da da da da[x4] [Verse 3: Adam Young (Lights)] (Let go of the world you know And plug in the party lights) Soak your cares in the solar flares That light up these island nights (Orange eclipse I can taste your lips In the citrus afternoon) If you can fly don't stop at the sky 'Cause there's footprints on the moon (It was you) [Chorus: Adam Young (Lights)] I wish that we could sail our sad days away Forever In deep blue seas of paper mâché (Let's dance in the moonlight) A barracuda chased our dog days away Forever Let's sink or swim 'til we fall in love (And dance in the moonlight) When we join the yacht club (Let's dance in the moonlight) When we join the yacht club
