When I was seven I told my mother 'Take me to the bay and put me on a ship' Silver swordfish Of electric I can feel a dream down here If the water should cut my mind If the water should cut my life If the water should cut my mind, set me free I don't care I want to live in a bathysphere When I was seven My father said to me 'But you can't swim' And I never dreamed of the sea again If the water should cut my life If the water should cut my line If the water should cut my mind, set me Free I don't care I want to live in a bathysphere
