Underwater Lyrics
You are my army and I would command
"Attack the Holy Land"
And you are that interstate
That I would roll my tanks down
So color me stunned
And wake the children when done
And put the details in a jar
And bury them underwater
I went to see these battlegrounds
With battle sounds
And drove to the outskirts
With cars on blocks
And houses run down
So color me stunned
And wake the children when done
And put the details in a jar
And bury them underwater
We'll gather up the family and
Display our diseased organs
We'll call it pride
We'll celebrate tonight
Tax free and always underpriced
So color me stunned
And wake the children when done
And put the details in a jar
And bury them underwater
"Attack the Holy Land"
And you are that interstate
That I would roll my tanks down
And wake the children when done
And put the details in a jar
And bury them underwater
With battle sounds
And drove to the outskirts
With cars on blocks
And houses run down
And wake the children when done
And put the details in a jar
And bury them underwater
Display our diseased organs
We'll call it pride
We'll celebrate tonight
Tax free and always underpriced
And wake the children when done
And put the details in a jar
And bury them underwater

OH MY GOD! No one's commented on this!? Sweet lord...
This has gotta be one of the best songs I've heard by DCFC and one of the best songs period, it's got a great groove to it. I don't know what the song's about yet, but it's definitely one of those songs that you don't really care what it's about cuz it's such a good song.
I love the easy flow of sound here and his gorgeous gentle voice.. breathlessly crooning!
I love the backup guitar - perfect dcfc song!
oh, and the pitch of his voice rocks :)
Isn't this actually an All-Time Quarterback song?
nope, it is simple sung by ben gibbard with his guitar, but it might be on an all-time quarterback album, not sure though.
It's too bad All Time Quarterback IS Ben Gibbard. Tis Ben's side project it is.... and it is an ATQ song... which was later re-recorded for Death Cab. I'm glad I know so much more than everyone else... kinda like the monolith.... You're the apes... I give you the brains. See how it works?
the beginning of this song reminds me of a modest mouse song for some reason..hmm.....
the best!
applepieandsoda...your a big headed knob...alot of people knew or know that man...so dont go thinkin your all high and mighty man.. yea its a good song haha -
what a good love song, but it doesn't really seem like it. that makes it all the better.
It's perfect in every way!
