And then the past recedes
And I won't be involved
The effort to be free
Seems pointless from above
You're looking down at me
I'd rather stay below
Than have you staring up at me
It's nowhere I want to go (ooh)
Aye, this business of how long we try to stay alive
Why to be here, you first got to die
So I gave it a try
And what do you know
Time was so long ago
ย
And things come back, you see
To where they don't belong
And every drop of sea
Is the whole ocean (ooh)
I lied to the greatest thieves
About anything and everything
I'm a figure of forgotten speech
I'm out of reach
Oh, I can't play it safe
But I might, just in case
ย
Ooh
I'm disguised as a reaching hand
I'm a working man
I don't understand why clockout
Come so slow every time
That's one line I stay right behind
ย
That's one line I stay right behind
Yeah
