Lyrics
Submachine Girl
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
She started the grade-school dog-show craze
(The teeth that held the teacher)
Trademarked the pre-chorus vocal phase
(The phrase that always reaches)
Incited a famous outhouse riot
(Fortuned in Boomer County)
Turned every wrong into a fight
That's right
She's a genius and a pearl who terrifies the world
My submachine girl
She lit the Korea pier on fire
(They saw the smoke from South Port town)
Then wrote the words to "Bird on a Wire"
(Through the paper on the ground)
Invented the ice cube that cannot melt
(I've seen one summer valley day)
Built a working spaceship in herself as well
There was a sun that set each night
(Now what's behind the curtain?)
Until she blew out the Northern lights
(So nothing is for certain)
And made the Southern Cross so uptight
With the full moon splitting in her sights
(Try starless)
That's right
