Smog - Bathysphere lyrics

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 (*2) Set me free And if 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 'but you can't swim' And i've never dreamed of the sea again
