[Verse 1: Ben Gibbard]
And I'm standing up
In my practice room
I'm all alone
The speakers almost blown
On my new Gibson amp
Oh, what the hell
[Verse 2]
Things are not so different in my vocal master
You're the face that launched one thousand sh**s
Greeks and Trojans and their thousand sh**s
The sh**s lining the shores of Asia Minor
Lining all the shores of Asia Minor
You can tell that I'm not a minor in Asia no more
[Chorus] (x2)
I'm standing up
This is the face that launched a thousand sh**s
This is the face that shot
Who never have replaced
Splitting up his kingdom into three separate parts
For his sons and their three separate hearts
