[Verse 1] He left the tin can clean With a gelcap grin One blink in the black And the walls went thin Helmet full of stars Veins full of rain He saw the moon unmask Like a pale gold chain [Pre-Chorus] Then the floor forgot his name The numbers lost their shape He laughed at every shadow As they cracked into a gate [Chorus] He rode the gravity waves He rode the gravity waves Space pirate in the haze Space pirate in the haze He stole the hush of comets He stole the hush of comets Out past the glassy blaze Out past the glassy blaze [Verse 2] A squid of violet smoke Wrapped his silver boots A thousand rings of sound Wore a mask of fruit He cut the dark in half With a candy-colored blade And the planets bowed low As he drifted through the jade [Pre-Chorus] Then the dead stars sang in chords And opened up the seams He saw his own old fear Turn to electric beams [Chorus] He rode the gravity waves He rode the gravity waves Space pirate in the haze Space pirate in the haze He stole the hush of comets He stole the hush of comets Out past the glassy blaze Out past the glassy blaze [Bridge] Ooh, the universe peeled back Like fruit in a fever dream Ooh, he drank the spinning air And vanished in the gleam [Chorus] He rode the gravity waves He rode the gravity waves Space pirate in the haze Space pirate in the haze He stole the hush of comets He stole the hush of comets Out past the glassy blaze Out past the glassy blaze [Outro] Aboard the waking void He raised a cosmic flag And every silent orbit Became his treasure bag Ooh-ooh Gravity waves Ooh-ooh Space pirate saves
