Well, I've been trying to post the correct lyrics for a few weeks with no success, so, for anyone interested in knowing what's actually being sung:
Out on the waves,
Over the railing, asking the crowd
To send you back
To stage instead of sailing away
They* left behind, looking for searchlights leading the charge
The mass appeal
To brilliant bruisers taking the wheel
And the sea was all lighters, it was all lighters
It’s how we know, now, to never go back
Like a grenade
I have mere seconds before the bang
Wanted to keep
My job as the leader of your gang
Wanted the hearts
Of brilliant bruisers, where do we find them?
Until we do, we’ll have to drift until we divine them
And the sea was all lighters, it was all lighters
It’s how we know, now, to never go back
With the junkyard science
To hang on
We do a bang on impression
Of the young sorrow
It’s tied in, the firing of the sirens
Going from fighting, to crying, to rising star dying
From its* own virus
It’s tied in, the firing of the sirens
And the sea was all lighters, it was all lighters
And now we know how to never go back
And the sea was all lighters, it was all lighters
That’s how we know, now, to never go back
@bravely You are right about it being lighters. I heard AC Newman say it in an interview. It is about looking out into the crowd at a rock show and seeing a sea of lighters.
