Lyrics

I just dove into twilight.
Spent a night swimming in the tonic at midnight.
Wouldn't you mind?
In this place where all is delirious,
if you say that I am delirious... Why? I'm fine!
'Cause I'm sure of it.
You don't have to know things,
you just have to know what it seems.
But maybe you're right.
Or maybe you're just not seeing what I'm seeing.
We could fall and not even know how.
Trap door in the floor that kept the air in --
I'd smile and soak my feet in chlorine.
Snip through the nets of a fisherman.
Hooks catch me cut through the lip again.
And tankers go by in big waves.
Wake, take me far from the oil slaves.
You catch a cold with a harpoon --
Dying is old news.
We could fall and not even know how.

Down in the groves, under the swells:
cobble stone alleys, tuna melting ice cream.
Chromatid taxi-crabs running red lights --
Traffic was bad. Mr. Mayorfish, I'm sad--
The city's going under, crime is going up.
Street-urchin sea urchins handing out flyers:
Venice World's Fair 2138...

Phosphorescence fireworks lighting up the sand.
Carousel is broken.
"Would you like a churro?"
"Would you like to raffle?"
"No, I'm fine thanks!"
Pigeon-fish in schools. Breadcrumb plankton.
Where has all the coral gone?
The city has lost.
Leviathan highway. Artificial sole-booth.
"Venice World's Fair 2138:
Where the Wonders of the World Will Congregate!"
