Flying Dutchman
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.
Hey, kid, I've got a ride for you
They say your brain is a comic book tattoo
And you'll never be anything
What will you do with your life
Oh, that's all you hear from noon till night
Take a trip on a rocket ship, baby
The sea is the sky
I know the guy who runs the place and he's out of sight
Flying Dutchman
Are you out there Flying Dutchman
Straight suits they don't understand
She tried that one with the alligator boots
But the other side drew her in
Heart falling fast when she left
Even the milky way was dressed in black
Take a trip on a rocket ship, baby
The sea is the sky
I know the guy who runs the place and he's out of sight
Flying Dutchman
Are you out there Flying Dutchman
'Cause they can't see what you're born to be
They can't see me
They can't be what they can't believe
They can't see what you see
Keep the boys spinning in their own little world
Tie them up so they won't say a word
Keep the boys spinning in their own little world
So afraid you'll be what they never were
Take a trip on a rocket ship, baby
The sea is the sky
I know the guy who runs the place and he's out of sight
Flying Dutchman
Are you out there Flying Dutchman
'Cause they can't see
