verse 1 

Throw me all around 
Like a boomerang sky 
Whatever you do 
Don't tell me why 
Poppies grow tall 
Then say bye bye 
The wave is here

A seamless little team 
And then we tanked 
I guess we're not so sacrosanct 
The tip of my tongue 
But then we blanked

E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| 

Ready set jet 
But she never gets far 
Listen to your skin 
From the seat of my car 
Two centipedes stuck 
In one glass jar 
The longest wave

verse 2 

Sterile as the barrel 
Of an old 12 gauge 
Under my skin 
And half my age 
Hotter than the wax 
On a saxifrage

A|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| 
E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| 

Steady your sails 
For the butterfly flap 
Whatever you do 
Don't close that gap 
I'm dreaming of a woman 
But she's just my nap
