Flying Dutchman (B-side Version)
Hey, kid, I 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 'til night.
Take a trip on a rocketship, baby,
Where 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, 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 rocketship, 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, 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.
They keep the boy spinning
In their own little world.
Tie him up so he won't say a word.
They keep the boy spinning
In their own little world.
So afraid he'll be what the never were.
Take a trip on a rocketship, 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, are you out there?
Flying Dutchman...
'Cause they can't see
'Cause they can't see
'Cause they can't see
Are you still out there?
They can't see but I fly now
They can't see and I just lose myself
They can't see, they can't see
You know, you know, you're trying
but they'll hide your
Hide your head, hide your head
So many know, you know
'cause then they can't see
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 'til night.
Take a trip on a rocketship, baby,
Where 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, 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 rocketship, 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, 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.
They keep the boy spinning
In their own little world.
Tie him up so he won't say a word.
They keep the boy spinning
In their own little world.
So afraid he'll be what the never were.
Take a trip on a rocketship, 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, are you out there?
Flying Dutchman...
'Cause they can't see
'Cause they can't see
'Cause they can't see
Are you still out there?
They can't see but I fly now
They can't see and I just lose myself
They can't see, they can't see
You know, you know, you're trying
but they'll hide your
Hide your head, hide your head
So many know, you know
'cause then they can't see
