[Pre-Chorus] How many days will it take to land? How many ways to reach abandon? Oh, abandon
[Chorus] So swoon, baby, starry nights May our bodies remain As deep we move, I'll feed you light, baby May our bodies remain Oh yeah, in history, I'll treat you right, baby I'm honest that way, hey
[Outro] Swoon, baby, starry nights May our bodies remain

Morse code is used in several places throughout the album’s packaging, continuing the nautical themes found in a few of the tracks' lyrics like “Public Pervert”.
Paul Banks, in a 2004 NME interview preceding the release of the album, said of it:
“The title has nothing to do with the song. It’s about a couple who are bodies of light flying through space and moving out of a physical plain to the cosmos.”
