Songtext von Gills And Tails

I looked at my reflection in the water Thought what an unlikely pair Closed my eyes, held my breath, plummeted down,down,down And anchored myself there Can't tell how long i've been In the company of gills and tails I think i feel my skin Growing scales [chorus:] Can i come up for air Can i come up, can come up [x3] I'm gettin' eaten up down here I'm just not built like them The big fish have a monopoly The little fish get buried in the sand This here world i'm in Sucks your life out, leaves you comatose Take back your salt and fins Send me a lifeboat [chorus] I look up at longing at the surface Hypnotized by the way the sunlight seems to ride each ripple And they do a dance Every ray becomes a beckoning hand I miss the sweet taste of oxygen I mistook this for the promised land
