The Vice Does Tight - Steam Powered Giraffe

There must be something

There must be something

There must be something

There must be something

There must be something

There must be something

There must be something more

To life than this vice

There must be something more to life

That we can’t even know

Maybe somewhere on a purple shore

Beyond the status quo

The lights from Mars

Well we’ve seen it before

The telescopes tell us it’s true

A cluster of stars

Bringing woe and such pain

What’s a poor little planet to do?

The vice does tight

And the vice does bite

And we will not slip

From its fiery grip

And the vice does thrive

Though it’s been deprived

And the vice will gnaw

With its cosmic maw

The vice does tight

There must be something

There must be something

There must be something

There must be something

There must be something

There must be something

More

We hoped that there was life out there

But we could never know

That the horrors of the stars above

Could crush us with one blow

The pods of whales;

they were fleeing something

Now we’re tangled in a web like flies

Tendrils grasp from afar

And they’ll bring us our end

By the hand of a million eyes

What’s in the sky?

The vice does tight

And the vice does bite

And we will not slip

From its firey grip

And the vice does thrive

Though it’s been deprived

And the vice will gnaw

With its cosmic maw

The vice does tight

There must be something

There must be something

There must be something

There must be something

There must be something

There must be something

There must be something

There must be something

There must be something
