I'm a slippery fish, headed for the sea
I might look pretty but you can't catch me
I don't want to fry high on that beach
I swim for something that I never reach
I swim for something that I never reach
My heart goes out to weed and rock
Weaving in and out of shock
Wiggin' through the water, sniffin' in the foam
In my element, far from home
In my element, far from home
Swimmin' through the darkness
I can't rest
Searchin' for the key to the treasure chest
Joy of my life, quest and service
Tell my wife, up on the surface
I'll be back by half past five
Home for supper, dead or alive
Home for supper, dead or alive
Don't tell me you think I'm sweet
Because we share something to eat
Greedy, moody. call my bluff
Nothing but the gold is good enough
Don't you know me, dressed so fine
Do you love me, pickled in brine
Riddled with age marks, stubborn and cursed
High on depth and drunk on thirst
High on depth and drunk on thirst |
