Spooky Action

[Verse 1]

Put this in front of any crowd

They will be on their knees or their feet

A rolling count scattered the moons

And I am in its debt, in its keep

[Chorus]

A spooky action, a close-up magic, go rush and push

The thermal noise of the evening

Have you seen it though...

The way that it’s meant to be seen?

The way that it's meant to be seen?

[Verse 2]

As I close up here, wish me well

"To thirteen years on a dead man’s ship!"

I will not live to tell the tale

But I hope the shot was worth it

[Chorus]

A spooky action, a close-up magic, go rush and push

The thermal noise of the evening

Have you seen it though…

The way that it's meant to be seen?

The way that it's meant to be seen?

[Bridge]

Filling my boots with stardust

Filling my pockets up with rocks

Follow the breath of empire rise and fall

Filling my boots with stardust

Filling my pockets up with rocks

Follow the breath of empire rise and fall

[Chorus]

A series of nail-biting dives

And I am done, I’m on the cloud

Looking for endings in the mirrors

The darling buds of come what may

The way that it’s meant to be seen

The way that it’s meant to be seen

[Bridge]

Filling my boots with stardust

Filling my pockets up with rocks

Follow the breath of empire rise and fall

Filling my boots with stardust

Filling my pockets up with rocks

Follow the breath of empire rise and fall

[Verse 3]

And I see the lone propeller, labor of moonlets

Then one last turn to take in Titan

The famous giant, the burning god

Have you seen the stray arc of Daphnis at Keeler's edge?

[Outro]

The way that it’s meant to be seen

The way that it's meant to be seen

The way that it’s meant to be seen

The way that it's meant to be seen
