Lyrics for Bathysphere

When I was seven I told my mother "Take me to the bay and put me on a ship" Silver swordfish Of electric I can feel a dream down here If the water should cut my mind If the water should cut my life If the water should cut my mind, set me free I don't care I wanna live in a bathysphere When I was seven My father said to me "But you can't swim" And I never dreamed of the sea again If the water should cut my life If the water should cut my line If the water should cut my mind, set me free I don't care I wanna live in a bathysphere
