Panic! At The Disco - Behind The Sea Lyrics






A daydream spills from my corked head
Breaks free of my wooden neck
Left a nod over sleeping waves
Like bobbing bait for bathing cod
Floating flocks of candled swans
Slowly drift across wax ponds

The men all played along
To marching drums
And boy did they have fun
Behind the sea
They sang (hey!)
So our matching legs
Are marching clocks
And we're all too small
To talk to God
Yes, we're all too smart
To talk to God

Toast the fine folks casting silver crumbs
To us from the dock
Jinxed things ringing as they leak
Through tiny cracks in the boardwalk
Scarecrow, now it's time to hatch
Sprouting sons and ageless daughters

Don't you know
Don't you know
That those watermelon smiles
Just can't ripen underwater
Just can't ripen underwater

The men all played along
To marching drums
And boy did they have fun
Behind the sea
They sang (hey!)
So our matching legs
Are marching clocks
And we're all too small
To talk to God
Yeah, we're all too smart
To talk to God
Oh, we're all too smart
To talk to God

Ooooh

Legs of wood waves, waves of wooden legs
Waves of wooden legs
Legs of wood waves, waves of wooden legs
Waves of wooden legs
Legs of wood waves, waves of wooden legs
Waves of wooden legs
Legs of wood waves, waves of wooden legs
Waves of wooden legs

Oooooh

"So close"

    This reminds me so much of The Young Veins and I love it. I'm currently going on a Pretty. Odd. spree and after each song, I keep telling myself "this is my favorite" but this is actually in my top 3 best pretty odd songs

  21. M.... D....

    A daydream spills from my corked head
    Breaks free of my wooden neck
    Left to nod over sleeping waves
    Like bobbing bait for bathing cod
    Floating flocks of candled swans
    Slowly drift across wax ponds

    The men all played along to marching drums
    And, boy, did they have fun, behind the sea
    They sang, (hey!)
    So our matching legs are marching clocks
    And we're all too small to talk to God
    Yes, we're all too smart to talk to God

    Toast the fine folks casting silver crumbs
    To us from the dock
    Jinxed things ringing as they leak
    Through tiny cracks in the boardwalk
    Scarecrow, now it's time to hatch
    Sprouting suns and ageless daughters

    Don't you know, don't you know
    That those watermelon smiles
    Just can't ripen underwater
    Just can't ripen underwater?

    Oh, legs of wood waves
    Waves of wooden legs (yeah!)
    Waves of wooden legs
    Legs of wood waves
    Waves of wooden legs
    Waves of wooden legs
    Legs of wood waves
    Waves of wooden legs
    Waves of wooden legs
    Legs of wood waves
    Waves of wooden legs
    Waves of wooden legs

    M.... D....

  26. c.... r....

    woah the song title is actually in the song

  27. t.... h....

    Feeling that Beatles vibe and I love it ❤

  28. M.... G....

    Nothing against new P!ATD, but *this*, *THIS* right here is why I fell in love with these motherfuckers. The complexity, the near absurdness sometimes, the poetry, the multiple genre influences...Like damn, those boys didn't have to go THIS hard. Oh god, I miss old Panic...

    M.... G....

    Dude I just found these songs and I'm shook at the difference

    M.... G....

    In a good way, ofc

    M.... G....

    @lolatmylife xd Their frist three albums are my favorites for that exact reason lol every album was so different from the others, now that Brendon is navigating through a more pop sound I feel like we get less of that "omg how'd they go from THAT to THIS" with every new release.

    M.... G....

    @Maria G. Lara true omg I just finished downloading the first 2 albums' songs and that's way beyond compared to the PFTW era

  29. T.... N....

    You guys reminds of The Beatles 😊 Beautiful 💕👌🏼👌🏼

  30. L.... J....

    idc what anyone says, this is panic's superior song

  31. L.... A....

    I’m positive I’m like a 1000 if these views now. By far my favourite song

  32. A.... M....

    RYAN WE MISS YOU

  56. E.... J....

    Everyone: Ah RyAn OmL AhH iM cRyInG
    Me (a new-ish) fan: oh this Ryan Ross guy sounds nice but I have no idea who he is 😂

    E.... J....

    he wrote 99% of their old songs

    E.... J....

    He is a god

    E.... J....

    you wrote this a year ago, so it's probably not applicable anymore, but i thought i might give a decent response! ryan ross (or george ryan ross the third) was the original lead vocalist of the band with spencer smith, brent wilson and a guy named trevor howell. brendon was a temporary guitar player, but they kept him and put him as vocals. ryan continued to write the lyrics of the band, which he did for a fever you can't sweat out and most of pretty. odd.. he left the band in 2009 with bassist jon walker due to creative differences and started the young veins, which unfortunately only made one album. he's been on hiatus for a while (either than his songs on soundcloud which were later deleted) but made a recent comeback with z berg and the dead end kids club! :DD

    E.... J....

    Haha 😂 you should find out more about him, trust me. He’s a really cute and amazing person who used to be in panic! Sadly he left but we all miss him so much... sinners (panic! Fans) call him Ryro so that’s the nickname 😘

  57. M.... F....

    I miss Ryan so much. He was such a bean

  58. i.... ....

    pretty. odd. more like pretty. underrated.

  59. T.... -....

    Not so long ago I didn’t know this man. But now that I do, I miss him too. His voice is soothing.

    I.... A....

    @Gab & Music I've known of him for two years. I never even actually saw him being in the band. And I miss him being in the band. It's crazy how strong an impression a person can leave on you, someone you don't even know.
