"Spooky Action" lyrics - THE NEW PORNOGRAPHERS

Put this in front of any crowd
They will be on their knees or their feet
A rolling count scattered the moons
And I am in its debt, in its keep

Spooky action, a close up magic, a rush and push
The thermal noise of the evening
Have you seen it though...
The way that it's meant to be seen?
The way that it's meant to be seen?

As I close up here, wish me well
"To 13 years on a dead man's ship!"
I will not live to tell the tale
But I hope the shot was worth it

Spooky action, a close up magic, a rush and push
The thermal noise of the evening
Have you seen it though...
The way that it's meant to be seen?
The way that it's meant to be seen?

Filling my boots with stardust
Filling my pockets up with rocks
Follow the breath of empire, rise and fall

A series of nail biting dives
And I am done, I'm on the cloud
Looking for endings in the mirrors
The darling buds of come what may
The way that it's meant to be seen...

Filling my boots with stardust
Filling my pockets up with rocks
Follow the breath of empire, rise and fall

I see...
The lone propeller, labor of moonlets
Then one last turn...
To take in Titan, the famous giant
The burning god
Have you seen the stray arc of Daphnis
At Keeler's edge?

The way that it's meant to be seen...
The way that it's meant to be seen...
The way that it's meant to be seen...
The way that it's meant to be seen...
