lyrics
I was thinking about the sea, all the life in the sea, it’s all just food I thought, but how can that be, oh there’s whales and dolphins and things that are smart, But where are the books, the passion for art? sinking down then floating up the bottoms brown, undercurrent rough, From single cell amoebas to mammals so huge, Except for the largest is everything just food? Sure, how could I understand what goes on below, It’s like the desert understanding the snow storm, but is everything just random without meaning and such, or is it like an Eskimo not reacting to Dutch? sinking down then floating up, the bottoms brown, undercurrent rough, and tough enough, I was thinking about the sea, all the life in the sea, it’s all just food I thought, but how can that be? That thought kind of got me down as I pondered and moped, but from within this darkness a beacon of hope, a kernel so small and maybe too late, glump, oorg, grr....i just got ate, sinking down then floating up, the bottoms brown, undercurrent rough, and tough enough, first he’s hungry, then I’m gone
