[Intro]

Oh, yeoman

[Verse 1]

Man, it's good to see you

This must be the airship

And are these your fellow crew?

Where are we headed?

I have nothing to do

Would you show me green

And would you show me blue?

We'll follow where the moons move

You and I invent the ballroom

Placing pushpins on the star chart

Wellspring of adventure that is begging to embark

[Pre-Chorus 1]

Let's move from the stateroom, through the galley

Deck level with stars like an endless sea

Flail me out onto the false dance floor

Take my face and show me what for

Your kiss is a swell

And the feeling like a buoyant waltz

Look, goddamnit, no, I don't know how

I love it though your steps are never gonna make a lick of sense

[Chorus]

Left my life on the ground

To dance with you in the clouds

Forgot my life on the ground

Oh, yeoman, we're far gone now, oh, yeoman

[Verse 2]

Let me bore you here under the Moon

Robed in the armillary room

Inert for all my years

And then fell into you

These routes that you just so ornately improvise

They're always wild

And I don't seem to mind

Put me to work, I want some value

I want big arms to put around you

To get lost in all your birthmarks

Wellspring of adventure that is begging to embark

[Pre-Chorus 2]

Let's move from the stateroom, through the galley

Gliding in the dark on an endless sea

Catch my footing while I follow yours

Take my face and show me what for

Come, kiss me swell

The feeling like a buoyant waltz

Look, goddamnit, no, I don't know how

I love it though your steps are never gonna make a lick of sense

[Chorus]

Left my life on the ground

To dance with you in the clouds

Forgot my life on the ground

Oh, yeoman, we're far gone now, oh, yeoman

[Instrumental Bridge]

[Pre-Chorus 2]

Stateroom through the galley

Gliding in the dark on an endless sea

Catch my footing while I follow yours

Take my face and show me what for

Come, kiss me swell

The feeling like a buoyant waltz

Look goddamnit, no, I don't know how

I love it though your steps are never gonna make a lick of sense

[Chorus]

Left my life on the ground

To dance with you in the clouds

Forgot my life on the ground

Oh, yeoman, we're far gone now, oh, yeoman
