 Intro chords.
 Verse.
Serpent  tails and  flying fish
Sup  up all the  wishes
 That you  sent to the stars
Chinese  dragons  incandescent
mirrors  in the waves
I  want to  put them in jars
 Chorus.
 With my-y-y saltbreakers
 (ringing  all the underwater, underwater,  underwater bells)
Saltbreakers
 (look  inside a space, look  inside a space and you can tell)
Saltbreakers
 (what  you need to sow, what  you need to know by any means)
 Verse 2.
 You will not burn me up
 though I've dreamed nightly of your face
 and walked the streets of my life
 with your singing in my silent brain
 you cannot burn me up
 i'm a fallen leaf who keeps her green
 and don't forget I've got my
 trusty bag of oh-oh-oh
 saltbreakers
 (flashing in the night, crashing all around my eyes)
 saltbreakers
 (throwing me down turning on the fire flies)
 saltbreakers
 (the ebb and the flood, clearing all the channels of your heart)
 Bridge. (SAME CHORDS STILL)
 bleached by the dark
 oceans of clouds
 rainstorms of ash
 stars on the ground
 Chorus.
 all around my-y saltbreakers
 (floating like a butterfly singing like a bumblebee)
 saltbreakers
 (dashing alright, splashing and slumbering)
 saltbreakers
 (mirror to the serpentine stars)
