Lyrics for Terrapin

I really love you and I mean you The star above you, crystal blue Well, oh baby My hair's on end about you (OK) I wouldn't see you and I love to I fly above you, yes I do Well, oh baby My hair's on end about you Floating, bumping Noses dodge a tooth The fins are luminous Fangs all 'round the clown It's dark below, the boulders hiding all The sunlight's good for us 'Cause we're the fishes And all we do The move about is all we do Well, oh baby My hair's on end about you Floating, bumping Noses dodge a tooth The fins are luminous Fangs all 'round the clown It's dark below, the boulders hiding all The sunlight's good for us 'Cause we're the fishes And all we do The move about is all we do Well, oh baby My hair's on end about you I really love you and I mean you The star above you, crystal blue Well, oh baby My hair's on end about you
