here's the plan
we'll take you and your shuttle crew
to get us to the moon
we'll put on your uniforms
and you'll take us to the room
with the quantum flux valve we need
to unlock our antique
we'll nab that tech real quick
back to the shuttle we will sneak
and if you're good we'll let you live
to see another day
while we escape from the empire
and use your ship as a getaway
the plan goes off without a hitch
until cyan tist turns into a snitch
he blows the alarm, guards everywhere
looks like its the end for the Corsairs
now hold on
if you take a closer look
at the valve still in the lab
you'll see that it's just a fake
the real one we did grab
the crew you captured in uniform
were the shuttle engineers
only the sneakiest pirate
was hidden amongst your peers
we knew that you would turn us in
so we planned a switcheroo
now we got the quantum flux valve
and we bid y'all a toodaloo
just as we depart empire space
thousands of robots begin to chase
the queen's army is too fast to evade
do we surrender or fight the brigade

You can't grill underwater
you can't grill underwater
you can't grill underwater
but the waves can take you away
Now that we're under the sea
everything here is sous-vide
you get the charcoal
and I'll get the matches
we're making a living
under the crashes
of the waves that take us away
You can't grill underwater
you can't grill underwater
you can't grill underwater
but the waves can take you away

Had the dream again
Blankets on the sand
Seagulls in the air
Out across the sea
Waving back at me
Mermaids draw me in
Under the sea
Mermaids want to game with me
They play Xbox
A system I don't care for a lot
I won't be rude
Try a round of call of duty
Then I'm on my way
Can you show me 'round
To see your mermaid town
Is there an aqua castle?
"No it's really lame"
They say "we only game,
Now shut up and play"
Under the sea
Mermaids want to game with me
They play Xbox
A system I don't care for a lot
I won't be rude
One more round of call of duty
Then I'm on my way

Tell me what it’s like from the bottom of that well
Are there colors? Are there shapes? I know it’s hard to tell
Speak softly right now what do you see is it safe is it sound
Is it every memory that you keep down caked in mud
Shout from the top of he scattered rocks you’ve won now big man
A kingdom of serfs to to work you plan I can’t understand
Was it worth it all the trouble you put us through. All the death and debt you begin to accrue.
I didn’t know what the sword meant before. But now I love the war.

Do I know who I am?
Do I know who I will be?
Who I am Saturday
Won’t be who I am Tuesday
What’s my aesthetic here?
A cat dad or a mermaid
Who fits in best round here?
Won’t know I’ll change by Thursday
Because I’m bleeding myself
To change the whole world around
I’m misleading, deceiving
Never am believing
I’ll find 1000 ways to think I’m better than you
But now your leaving, I’m grieving
Now I am believing
I know all the ways to be what you never knew
Do I know who I am?
Do I know who I will be?
Who I’ve been my whole life
Won’t be who I’ve been lately
What’s my aesthetic here?
Try hard or eh don’t worry
Who fits in best round here?
Won’t know I’ll change by Thursday

I've told you no half a dozen times
You know my hands are already tied
I know you don't believe me
It's simple how
You've got me underwater now
I've seen you swimming along the shore
Maybe you're looking for something more
Please listen when I tell you
I can't allow
You've got me underwater now
Can't keep my head falling under sea
A sorry love affair for me
Please listen when I tell you
I can't allow
You've got me underwater now
I've told you no half a dozen times
You know my hands are already tied
I know you don't believe me
It's simple how
You've got me totally underwater now
