Song lyrics
Do you belong to a song?
Does it drag you along by the tongue at the top of your lungs?
Are you drunk?
Have you been drinking?
Do you below the overpass go with a fifth in your fist
reminiscing the kiss of a love that just didn't love as much as you did?

Please don't give up, dear walls
don't let the ceiling fall
when you belong to a song, salty eyes,
You belong.

Shrill notes begin, the grim violin
then from the silence a violence of sirens orchestrate the score
to which one more corpse is left quiet
How we become the hollows of drums
the rests between notes, the hollers that never reach throats
"friends" in quotes, they're not calling

Please don't give up, dear you
I'm but the sliver moon sliding through
when you belong to a song, salty eyes,
You belong.

Do please believe, however naive
let it drag you along by the tongue at the top of your lungs
and belong, salty eyes

When you belong to a song, salty eyes,
You belong.

I absolutely love this tune and the lyrics to this song, but I can't stand the lead singer's voice during the verse. He may look like Johnny Depp, but that doesn't change the fact I feel like I could reach out my two fingers and snap his brittle tune in half.

I have to admit, this song really annoyed me when I first heard it. I thought the dude's voice was annoying and I thought that the instruments were paticuarly annoying. The more I heard it, however, the more I have to admit it grew on me. Its really fun to sing along to, and I love the instrumentation now that I think about it. There's something very whimsical about the whole song.
