When I was seven I told my mother
To take me to the bay and put me on a ship
Silver swordfish, electric
I can feel or 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 want to live in a bathysphere

When I was seven my father said to me
"But you can't swim"
And I've 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 want to live in a bathysphere
