[Verse 1 | Male Vocals | Playful Synth Plucks] Every fence looked climbable to me Do-wa! Do-do-do-de-da! Every tree looked like a mystery Do-wa! Do-do-do-de-da! Every warning sounded way too tame Every bad idea knew my name Climbed a shed and tore my favorite pants Caught a frog and taught it how to dance [Pre-Chorus | Rising Energy | Driving Bassline] In my defense, I had a plan (He had a plan) In my defense, it seemed quite grand (A very bad plan) In my defense, I stand by this (Of course he does) I'm the Wreck of the Hesperus! [Chorus | Exploding Energy | Driving Synths & Heavy Bass] Patron saint of the over-curious Do-wa! Do-do-do-de-da! If it splashed (Whoops!) If it crashed (Whoops!) If it smoked (Uh-oh!) If it broke (There he goes!) If somebody asked who started the fuss We know who! The Wreck of the Hesperus! [Drop | High Energy | Melodic Future Bass Chords] [Verse 2 | Male Vocals | Punchy House Beats] Every gate looked easy to unlatch Every spark looked lonely for a match Built a ramp and launched a wagon high Didn't stick the landing, but I tried Found a tunnel, took a chance Lost a hat, found some ants Came home late, covered in dust Mom said, "What happened?" – I said, "Trust!" [Pre-Chorus | Rising Energy | Driving Bassline] In my defense, the odds were low (That's not how odds work) In my defense, how was I to know? (Everybody knew) In my defense, nobody said (Not to do exactly that) I'm the Wreck of the Hesperus! [Chorus | Exploding Energy | Driving Synths & Heavy Bass] Patron saint of the over-curious Do-wa! Do-do-do-de-da! If it splashed (Whoops!) If it crashed (Whoops!) If it smoked (Uh-oh!) If it broke (There he goes!) If somebody asked who started the fuss We know who! The Wreck of the Hesperus! [Bridge | Half-Time Beat | Dreamy Synthpop Pads] Half ridiculous (That's a fact) Half mysterious (We'll allow that) Running on curiosity (No surprise) And zero experience Ohhh, that explains it! [Outro | Peak Energy | Ultimate Climax & Vocoder] Do-wa! Do-do-do-de-da! In my defense... (Nope!) Do-wa! Do-do-do-de-da! In my defense... (Nope!)
