lyrics

tiaw t'ndluoc I dias I, I dna desimorp uoy neht tub
tiaw t'ndluoc I dias I, I dna desimorp uoy neht tub

Maria was a receiver
tuned to the Midwest I swear
Alaina signaled Florida
by way of Kenosha air

after Internet connection
Alaina and Soren drove and visited
Maria who opened door smiling
and said “I'm coming back with you to live”

tiaw t'ndluoc I dias I, I dna desimorp uoy neht tub
tiaw t'ndluoc I dias I, I dna desimorp uoy neht tub

Maria served at The Chancery
where Alaina hosted and bussed
straight boys flirted with Maria
‘cause Alaina said,"this stays between us"

Maria said,"sure, you're the commander"
Alaina replied,"no you wear the crown
Maria said,”then we’ll burn down the wardrobe
and prepare for the new world at large"

we need new duds for the captain
captain trying to steer the ship
take hold of hips and control them with the lips
keep the vessel from dry land
we need new duds for the captain
captain who just earned the rank
from last boat that sank
take your money from the money
take this body that needs to be manned

tiaw t'ndluoc I dias I, I dna desimorp uoy neht tub
tiaw t'ndluoc I dias I, I dna desimorp uoy neht tub

Maria moved in with Soren
his parents kicked him out, he was on his own
there was a party every night after work
since he'd come out he wasn't alone

Maria said,"We gotta live life to fullest"
Soren, this is the time to celebrate"
but, in the dressing rooms of the outlet malls
Alaina couldn't help but hesitate

we need new duds for the captain
captain trying to steer the ship
take hold of hips and control them with the lips
keep the vessel from dry land
we need new duds for the captain
captain who just earned the rank
from last boat that sank
take your money from the money
take this body that needs to be manned

when we get to heaven we’ll walk down the streets paved with gold
new duds for the captain (new duds for the captain)
when we get to heaven I know we won’t have to grow old
new duds for the captain (new duds for the captain)
when we get to heaven we’ll stand on the top of the sun
we need new duds for the captain
when we get to heaven away from dark fields we’ll run
new duds for tha captain
