Lyrics
[Intro] [Verse] Quarter past ten on a Tuesday night The neon sign is flickering white Lint trap's full of stardust rust In the spin cycle we trust I find a navy blue one left behind A cotton soul I’m trying to find [Chorus] Oh, Captain of the Parallel Seas Are you sailing through the breeze? Did you lose your woolly grip? On your interdimensional ship? I’ll fold your shirts with extra care And leave a note for you right there [Verse] The Speed Queen hums a wobbly tune Underneath a paper moon I saw a map in a coffee stain Leading back to the coast of Maine Or maybe a port in a galaxy far Where the laundry is dried by a dying star [Pre-Chorus] I write "Stay warm out in the cold" In a script that’s brave and bold Tucked inside a flannel sleeve Something for you to believe [Chorus] Oh, Captain of the Parallel Seas Are you sailing through the breeze? Did you lose your woolly grip? On your interdimensional ship? I’ll fold your shirts with extra care And leave a note for you right there [Bridge] One sock here, one sock there Searching for the ghost of a pair Through the rift in the dryer drum Waiting for the captain to come Fretless bass and a glockenspiel Making all the magic feel real [Verse] I suspect your crew is tiny In a world that's dark and briny Just a compass and a single shoe Looking for a matching hue The fabric softener smells like rain Drowning out the astral strain [Hook] The cycle's fast The colors last The dye is cast The anchor's passed [Chorus] Oh, Captain of the Parallel Seas Are you sailing through the breeze? Did you lose your woolly grip? On your interdimensional ship? I’ll fold your shirts with extra care And leave a note for you right there [Post-Chorus] I’ll leave a note right there Folded with a little prayer For the captain of the seas Sailing through the cosmic breeze [Outro]
