This oughta be the single I think

Weird Fishes/Arpeggi
In the deepest ocean
The bottom of the sea
Your eyes
They turn me
Why should I stay here?
Why should I stay?
I'd be crazy not to follow
Follow where you lead
Your eyes
They turn me
Turn me on to phantoms
I follow to the edge of the earth
And fall off
Everybody leaves
If they get the chance
And this is my chance
I get eaten by the worms
Weird fishes
Get towed by the worms
Weird fishes
Weird fishes
Weird fishes
I'll hit the bottom
Hit the bottom and escape
Escape
I'll hit the bottom
Hit the bottom and escape
Escape
-----------------
The word "arpeggi" is sung as a backup vocal by Ed O'Brien. I had to google a bit to find out what the word means. This definition makes the most sense: production of the tones of a chord in succession and not simultaneously. From the Italian arpeggio.

Probably one of my favorite tracks on the album so far. They kind of split the difference between the original minimalistic performance and the more guitar driven one they played on their string of live dates.
beautiful.
