    [Ambrose Kenny-Smith]
    A doorway opened
    Endless ocean
    Super highway
    Scoundrels unbind
    The ship was gently swaying, cradled
    Smooth sailing in a wintery July
    The silence of the lifeless soul
    Shimmers in the early morning glow
    Like the chorus in a Greek tragedy
    The thunder's knock, knock, knocking
    Devil's staring back at me, yeah

    Lightning strikes upon the nose of my boat
    As I'm shapeshifting and drifting
    Trying to stay afloat
    Crystal clear
    I've got a vision of a deer in the headlights
    The end is near
    Without a fear in sight

    [Stu Mackenzie]
    The moon speaks to me this night (yeah!)
    She says "follow my light"
    "Like a moth's inner compass"
    She says "chase what you can't have"
    "This land-borne curse clings to you like algae"
    "If only you were a star, you'd be not sedentary"
    I said "I have always wondered if I could step out of my body, would I be a fish out of water or like a school in harmony?"
    "So miss moon, if I could have one wish, I'd turn my hands into wings"
    "I'd say goodbye to the fish and jump from the highest cliff"

    Yeah
    I wanna be aerodynamic

    [Ambrose Kenny-Smith]
    Woo!
    Never gonna get there
    Never gonna get there
    Holy land is a figment
    Never gonna get there
    Never gonna get there
    Sailing for infinity
    Never gonna get there
    Never gonna get there
    Holy land is a figment
    Never gonna get there
    Never gonna get there
    This ship is a shipwreck

    [Joey Walker]
    I'm just floating away on this barrel of paint
    Is this just me stranded at sea in a sailor's dream?
    I'll just sing to the sharks, and maybe they'll think twice
    They're just trying to survive in the world like me, alright
    I ain't got hope but I can't help but smile
    The forty-odd thousand foot of tears won't save me from an appetite
    I accept my fate
    My time is nigh
    I'm just gonna sit here and watch the waves roll by

    [Stu Mackenzie]
    I wanna be aerodynamic
