Deep in the Ocean
[Verse 1]
Deep, deep, deep, deep in the ocean
Is a waterproof wristwatch that was dropped
From a boat on a cruise by a man full of booze
But even without a wrist, it never stopped
Through an accidental accident at the factory
It was made so that it never need be wound
For the watch ran on love, which it had plenty of
For deep in the ocean there's plenty of love to be found
[Chorus]
Below the boats and sky
There's no such thing as time
There is no need for tryin' to
Put it together, put it together
I believe we'll someday lose our feet
Pick up some gills, and travel
[Verse 2]
Deep, deep, deep, deep in the ocean
And enjoy a life that never should get old
But it can and it will, for we'll be human still
And wherever ocean real estate is sold
We'll be buying and selling and always propelling it forwards
And the leader of the fish will take a stand
And we shall see it swim with a wristwatch on its fin
And the race of fish will be taking over our land
[Chorus]
The fish will take our seats
The schools, the farms, the streets
And we'll be stuck down deep and
Maybe we'll never put it together
[Bridge]
Deep in the ocean
Deep in the ocean and motionless
Deep in the ocean
Deep in the ocean, there'll be no sun anymore
[Chorus]
Below the boats and sky
There's no such thing as time
There is no need for tryin' to
Put it together, we'll be forever
[Bridge]
Deep in the ocean
Deep in the ocean and motionless
Deep in the ocean
Deep in the ocean and motionless
Deep in the ocean
Deep in the ocean and motionless
Deep in the ocean
Deep in the ocean and motionless
[Outro]
So much for our fish friends, loose ends
Can't be tied (Tied)
Old selves have died
Goggle-eyed and chased by whales
Swimmin', zoomin'
Mermaid tails, almost human
Skin turned to scales
I conclude
We've become seafood
We've become seafood
We've become seafood
We've become seafood
