Underwater Life Songtext
von Freedy Johnston

I sail alone
In a homemade boat
Repairs and jokes and stares
Everywhere I go
And then one night
Out about ten miles
The sea glowed far below
On the starboard side


There underneath the waves
A drowned city was never saved
In a deep sea paradise
They know better than to rise
And if I had my way
I′d trade my own today
For the underwater life

The sailors laugh
At my unnamed craft
Ignore it and collect my coins
For hauling trash
And every night
Where the sea goes deep
I drop sail and watch until
I drift off to sleep


There underneath the waves
A drowned city was never saved
In a deep sea paradise
They know better than to rise
And if I had my choice
I'd trade my own of course
For the underwater life
