Lyrics for Bathysphere

When I was seven I asked my mother To trip me to the bay And put me on a ship And lower me down Lower me out of here Because when I was seven I wanted to live in a bathysphere Between coral Silent eel Silver swordfish I can't really feel or dream down here And if the water should cut my line 螜f the water should cut my line 螜f the water should cut my line Set me free I don't mind, I'll be The lost sailor, my home is the sea When I was seven My father said to me You can't swim' And I've never dreamed of the sea again Well Well
