Song lyrics
Of all the churning random hearts 
Under the sun 
Eventually fading into night, 
These two are opening now 
As we lie, I touch you 
Under fuller light. 

Girl, if you're a seascape 
I'm a listing boat, for the thing carries every hope. 
I invest in a single lie. 
The choice is yours to be loved 
Come away from an emptier boat. 

'Cause when the dead moon 
Rises again 
We've no time to start a protocol 
To have us in. 
And when the dog slides 
Underneath a train, 
There's no cry, no use to searching for 
What mutts remain. 

Throw all consequence aside 
The chill aspire, people set alight. 

Of all the intersecting lines in the sand 
I routed a labyrinth to your lap. 
I never used a map sliding off the land 
On an incidental tide, 
And along the way you know, they try 
They try. 

And we got sea legs 
And we're off tonight 
Can I've that to which they've no right? 
You belong to a simpler time 
I'm a victim to the impact of these words, 
And this rhyme. 

'Cause when that dead moon 
Rises again 
We've no time to start a protocol 
To have us in. 
And when the dog slides, 
Open the door, and where 
There's no time, no use to searching for 
The mutts remains. 

Throw consequence aside 
And the chill aspire, people set alight.

One of my favorite songs on the album. Love the melody on the chorus especially (sounds like a minor key?).

_; errr.... tried editing the song (I actually have the album with the lyrics notebook). Don't think that anyone believed me because the lyrics were so weird. Blame the Shins, not me.

I've tried editing the lyrics to as I also have the LP with the lyrics sheet. I have had no response from the moderator.
