mayday! - sparkbird lyrics

[verse 1]
if the double*row eighteen*cylinder
air*cooled radial engine
is not enough to tip you off
before he slips you off the needle
drops you into unstitched sp*ce
the wasteland which henceforth
shall be referred to as “your place”

[chorus]
the captain lives by the sword
and the captain loves by the sword
when the captain dies by the sword
he’ll leave you trapped in the c*ckpit
crying out “mayday!”

[verse 2]
when a scissor*tailed flycatcher aerial courtship
nosedives in a blitzkrieg from that whiskey delta
you can tell the backyard bomber
never helmed a cargo crate
he croaks out undoing and doom
to the wishful safety net
you jeopardized your life to loom

[chorus]
the captain lives by the sword
and the captain loves by the sword
once you elope with the captain
you’ll leave on a sordid honeymoon
trapped in the c*ckpit
crying out “mayday!”
[instrumental]

[bridge]
always the last and never the least
always the fast and never the feast
always the cult of domesticity
always the jolts of electricity
always surpassed and never decreased
always amassed and never released
always the past controls your mind
never the peace you hoped to god you’d finally find

[chorus]
the captain lives by the sword
and the captain loves by the sword
and when he dies by the sword
he’ll reward you for your obedience
for your countenance has woven in at every turn

[outro]
even as the back, even as the back
of the hand
even as the back, even as the back
of the hand still burns
even as the back, even as the back
of the hand still burns
from the last airstrike
