Behind the Sea - Live at Congress Theater, Chicago, IL, 2008

[Spoken: Spencer Smith, Ryan Ross]
So anyway, the next song that we're gonna play
Is sung by my friend Ryan Ross
Um, if you know the words, go ahead and, you know, help him out, sing along
It's called "Behind the Sea", and it goes like this
Hey, what's up?
Since we're gonna film this one, I wanna remember this
Let's see if we can get a little atmosphere going here
Just go like this with your hands, there you go
Make it look like the sea, there you go
Hey, it looks like waves
Or lakе Michigan!
Either one
That's way prettiеr
Yeah, oh, that looks good, alright

[Verse 1: Ryan Ross]
A daydream spills from my corked head
Breaks free of my wooden neck
Left to nod over sleeping waves
Like bobbing bait for bathing cod
Floating flocks of candled swans
Slowly drift across wax ponds

[Chorus: Ryan Ross & Brendon Urie]
The men all played along to marching drums
And, boy, did they have fun, behind the sea
They sang, (Hey!) so our matching legs are marching clocks
And we're all too small to talk to God
Yes, we're all too smart to talk to God

[Verse 2: Ryan Ross]
Toast the fine folks casting silver crumbs
To us from the dock
Jinxed things ringing as they leak
Through tiny cracks in the boardwalk
Scarecrow, now it's time to hatch
Sprouting suns and ageless daughters

[Pre-Chorus: Brendon Urie, Ryan Ross]
Don't you know, don't you know
That those watermelon smiles
Just can't ripen underwater?
Just can't ripen underwater?

[Chorus: Ryan Ross & Brendon Urie]
The men all played along to marching drums
And, boy, did they have fun, behind the sea
They sang, (Hey!)
So our matching legs are marching clocks
And we're all too small to talk to God
Yeah, we're all too smart to talk to God
Oh, we're all too smart to talk to God

[Bridge: All]
Oh, legs of wood waves
Waves of wooden legs (Yeah!)
Waves of wooden legs
Legs of wood waves
Waves of wooden legs
Waves of wooden legs
Legs of wood waves
Waves of wooden legs
Waves of wooden legs
Legs of wood waves
Waves of wooden legs
Waves of wooden legs

[Spoken: Ryan Ross, Jon Walker]
Thank you!
And that was "Behind the Sea"
