Lyrics They'll Soon Discover - The Shins

When you were young and wise
Scratching your letters in the sand
And your imagination
Led you all around by the hand
(La, la, la, la)
Did you ever wonder
What dizzy adventures there might be
Unfolding in the currents
Under the waves at the bottom of the sea
Well, he's odd but he's got a lot of vision
His buck teeth, cock-eyed smile
Can't stop this invertebrate on a mission
He's in charge
A sinister design
A wild goose chase for a crown
(A crown)
When your eyes align
Before they tear apart your town
If you wanna win
Save all of your kin in the ocean
Stay your ground, don't be discouraged
Don't let 'em turn our brains into porridge
You're odd but you've got a lot of vision
Your buck teeth, stalwart heart
Can't stop this invertebrate on a mission
He's in charge
But it's a long, hard fight
The corner turns and it's always another mile
People think day and night
They think they got your number
But they'll soon discover
