King Neptune is the thirteenth track from Galleons sophomore LP 'Metropolis'.
lyrics
Wait, you gotta put your life preserver on
Else the waves will drown you just for fun
Wait, you gotta put your life preserver on
We’re getting swept away (Swept away)
By a tidal wave (By a tidal wave)
Waking up on a beach so far away (So far away)
Better watch out for those harmful U.V. rays
They can burn your body from outer space
Drink sunblock from the bottle ‘cus I love the taste
But I’ve got not skin anyway
The sun will shine again on you and I, my friend
But the waves are crashing down and the water’s up to my head
We’re getting swept away by a tidal wave
Waking up on a distant shore, feeling like I’ve been here before
Counting the days so we all can say
We’ll bear witness to the breaking dawn, I feel the heat coming on
Better get used to the taste of lemonade
We bottle and sell ideas in retrograde
Better off sweet than sour with a headache
That’s the attitude, now learn to swim for god sake
No, it’ll never stop, you inhale, exhale, then you drop
No, it’ll never stop, you inhale, exhale, then you drop
Baby, your eyes are bluer than the seven seas
Took me by surprise, now I’m sinking deeper endlessly
Drowning in style, but I’m losing my breath and getting further away from shore
It’s been a while since I’ve seen the ocean floor
We’re getting swept away by a tidal wave
Waking up on a distant shore, feeling like I’ve been here before
Counting the days so we all can say
We’ll bear witness to the breaking dawn, I feel the warmth coming on
