Destroyer - War On Jazz Ii Or How I Learned To Love The War On Jazz Lyrics

Land-lovers refuse to understand that others
need the sea like we need the sand.
Why surprised then when your hands have yet
to crack from the clapping?
It happens more often than not:
that you applaud for the play, half an act, and then an act,
and then it all goes away?
A play, half an act, and then an act?
A play, half an act, and then an act?
Newly-husbanded to your voice likes a choice
to twice-remove me four times from you:
newly-husbanded to your voice.
Husbanded to your voice.

Our mouths are outdone by the dross;
done-in with what we filled them with.
Newly-husbanded to her voice, someone chooses
to twice remove all that he loses.
Outlandish schemes for the Andover dreams
we've weaned ourselves off of,
and off of, and off of, and off of,
and off of, and off of, and off of,
and off of, and off of, and off of
