Lyrics Andrew Bird

Lusitania

If you loosen liable lips

You keep sinking all my ships

Oh then you're the one who sank my Lusitania

But somehow it don't register as pain, at all

Till it finds our crooked vain

It should help

Oh let's not remember the Maine

Oh-oh-oh ooo

You laid mines along your shore

Oh no ooo

Through my hull they ripped and tore

Oh ooo

We don't study this war no more

So we let our backbone slip

Till the arc spits from my fingertips

And we'll become a hazard in the rain

Boy we'll get charged out in the lane

And there's a 60-cycle hum

Go ahead, say something dumb boy, there's no shame

There's no shame

Go ahead, say something dumb boy, there's no shame

Oh-oh-oh ooo

You lay your mines along your shore

No ooo

Through my heart you've ripped and torn

Oh ooo

We don't study this war no more
