Dreamboat

(album: Downward Is Heavenward - 1998)

You swore the earth was round, and you said that there was no upside down.
I hit the starship's left, let the parallax flip like you showed me in the lighthouse.
I did the math and it came up ones and O's.

I know a girl who makes me shine, my dreamboat's leaving on a submarine, she packed a second set of tanks and all I ever want and need.
I know a girl who makes me whine, while my dreamboat scatters all the sub-machines, she packed a second set of tanks and all I ever want and need.

And you swore the earth was sound, and you said that we could go upside the ground.
But the starfish sends in a message in code that you can't see from the lighthouse.
And we will dive in the afternoon.

I took a simple time to wander, engaging twilight through the trees.
And she needs help among the kelp-ways, and I'm not tied to these, no I'm not tied to these.

I know a girl who makes me shine, my dreamboat's leaving on a submarine, she packed a second set of tanks and a solar powered lung for me.
And to the girl who makes me whine, while my dreamboat scatters all the sub-machines, she packed a second set of tanks and all I ever want and need, for me, for me, for me.
