Lyrics for Stella was a diver and she was always down

This one's called "Stella Was a Diver and She's Always Down'" When she walks down the street She knows there's people watching The building fronts are just fronts To hide the people watching her But she once fell through the street Down a manhole in that bad way The underground drip Was just like her scuba days Days Daze Days Daze Days She was all right 'cause the sea was so airtight, she broke away She was all right 'cause the sea was so airtight, she broke away She was all right, but she can't come out tonight, she broke away She was all right 'cause the sea was so tight, airtight She broke away, broke away She broke away, broke away She broke away, broke away She broke away She lies in no place She lies in nowhere She lies in no place She hides in nowhere She hides in nowhere At the bottom of the ocean, she dwells At the bottom of the ocean, she dwells From crevices caressed by fingers And fat blue serpent swells Stella, Stella, oh, Stella Stella, I love you, Stella, I love you, Stella, I love you She was all right 'cause the sea was so airtight, she broke away She was all right 'cause the sea was so airtight, she broke away She was all right, but she can't come out tonight, she broke away She was all right, yeah, the sea was so tight, airtight She broke away, broke away She broke away, broke away She broke away, broke away She broke away Well, she was my catatonic sex toy, love-joy diver Well, she was my catatonic sex toy, love drug diver She went down, down, down there into the sea Yeah, she went down, down, down there Down there for me, right on Oh, yeah, right on So good, oh, yeah, right on So good, oh yeah There's something that's invisible There's some things you can't hide Trying to detect you when I'm sleeping In a wave you say goodbye There's something that's invisible There's some things you can't hide Trying to detect you when I'm sleeping In a wave you say goodbye
