The phantom limbs burn the edges/they ache and pool my focus
They now seem gone, and I can't seem to get it to hold up
FORWARD!! FOWARD!! I keep both my knees together
NORTHWARD!! NORTHWARD!! I still keep my thoughts all tethered
Far enough away...Far enough away...I know you kept your distance and I've tried to just obey
My eyes won't stop me from scratching/pulling the layers of sleep and rust
I cannot believe/ it's this early/... Only three (a.m) and the churning's turned me
A Gothic Serpent has taken everyone/for miles around, for years unbound
we been huddled here to thwart the very thing we knew would come around
We tell each other that fear is in our mind and yet we know it is just ahead
We tell our loved that we we'll meet again in the waters of the dead
FORWARD!! FORWARD!! We know better than to hold our heads so low
NORTHWARD!! NORTHWARD!! We've known since the day began we'd pass those below
NORTHWARD!! NORTHWARD!! I can and will hold my sector and keep my guys all clear
NORTHWARD!! NORTHWARD!! The ships'll sail without us if our words pass deaf ears
There is solace here...There's still solace here. Just no relief that keep us steered
We keep the embrace/We keep the warmest touch
We keep the insane/ We keep the coolest fuss
Until the top stops spinning, we'll just dream up worlds
Until this top stops spinning, we'll just dream up worlds
Until the softest lips are real, we'll await another girl
Until the core overheats, we'll wait for the ice to burst
CHORUS (FORWARD!! etc etc) X 4
I am confident that my moves couldn't scare you off...
I am confident that my jealousy wouldn't tear you up
But I have the final pass, oh...just one last laugh
And oh, just one laugh, just one last laugh, and I'm sure you'll understand
Just one laugh, a one-time gas, where we'll laugh for hours
