In the candy-colored panic of the sky Captain White! When the gummy hands come crawling, something bites Captain White! He was chosen for the probing of the night But the hunters got it wrong Now the snack is fighting back Captain White! [Verse 2] Held up stiff like a butchered marionette Torso twitching in a halo silhouette Rubber fingers crawling under his clothes Everywhere that a good Christian doesn't go One comes close with that bulbous little stare Pulls his mouth open like he's livestock at a fair Checks his teeth, jams a finger on his tongue And that's the moment that the feeding bell is rung [Pre-Chorus] Synthetic cherry Lemon and lime Mushy little finger Sweet and sublime Something in his brain says This is not fear This is appetite awakening And dinner's finally here [Chorus] Captain White! In the candy-colored panic of the sky Captain White! Takes a finger, chews it up, and comes alive Captain White! Now the saucer sounds like screaming in a hive They came looking for a man Now they're watching something stand Captain White! [Drop / Chant] Bite Rip Chew Spit Flash Spin Lock In [Verse 3] He flips midair, lands low like a beast Predator grin at the start of the feast Pale green, pale pink, backing off in dread Maybe color means flavor, Captain White said Gangling arms waving please-no in the air Too late, boys, there's a butcher in your prayer He tears a neck open, wild with the hum Like the end of restraint and the start of the drum [Chorus] Captain White! Now the saucer is a slaughterhouse in flight Captain White! He's a patriot of hunger in the light Captain White! Made first contact and he took the first bite One small bite for man One first feast for humankind Captain White! [Outro] Alien synth in the blood-red glow Cornfields waiting far below Captain White in the roaring dome Eating his way back home ``` --- ## 02.

Response: No, but the mouth got brave Call: Doctor, is the war still on? Response: Yes, but the taste came home [Breakdown] Chew it round Chew it round Move that miracle all over town Chew it round Chew it round Make that sour sweetness found Miracle protocol Bunker getting physical Gummy metaphysical Tongue turns criminal Miracle protocol Kingdom irresistible Earth still edible Captain White is critical [Final Chorus] Try this Get it in your mouth Try this While the world burns down If the king's upstairs And the floor's at war Try this Nothing tastes good anymore Try this Turn the sour into shine Try this Put the groove back in your mind If the sugar won't sing Like it sang before Try this Nothing tastes good anymore [Outro] One red berry in the war Captain White wants more One red berry in the war Captain White wants more ``` --- ## 12.

Then the bell rang out like thunder And the whole world came alive A hundred bodies in the hallway Trying not to look surprised [Chorus] Son, let me give you wings There's nothing for you in these halls Just lockers, bells, and broken things And your name scratched on the wall Son, let me give you wings Come on, step into the light You don't have to know where you're going yet You just have to leave tonight [Verse 2] New Albany was buzzing loud Like a hive behind the doors Girls with books against their hearts Boys declaring little wars Someone laughed, someone shoved Someone dropped a tray Mr. White stood in the current Like he might get swept away There beside the trophy case With a smile too clean to trust A man in blue with a folded flag Said, boy, you look like us [Pre-Chorus] And the floor kept shaking under him And the lockers flashed like chrome And the future smelled like floor wax And gasoline and going home He rubbed his chin one more time Felt the roughness coming through And the man said, I can see it, son There's something more in you [Chorus] Son, let me give you wings There's nothing for you in these halls Just lockers, bells, and broken things And your name scratched on the wall Son, let me give you wings Come on, step into the light You don't have to know where you're going yet You just have to leave tonight [Post-Chorus] Wings Wings You were never built to crawl Wings Wings Don't you hear the engine call? [Bridge] Years before the red lights found him Years before the sugar sang Years before the thing inside him Learned the shape of hunger's name He was just a boy in motion With a shadow down the spine And a stranger selling heaven On a dotted little line [Final Chorus] Son, let me give you wings There's nothing for you in these halls Just lockers, bells, and broken things And your name scratched on the wall Son, let me give you wings Come on, step into the light You don't have to know what you're becoming You just have to leave tonight [Outro] Mr. White walked through the doorway While the hallway roared behind First real shave still waiting on him First real life still unsigned And the man said, son Let me give you wings ``` ---
