lyrics

As I dip my head beneath the sea
I can hear you singing songs to me
And I follow you, your bonny song,
And you can freely travel on

It was eight years that the sea burned red
In the bay your daddy's blood was shed
Where the stench of dog food filled the sky
Where the flesh was burned, where he did die

So they tied him to a brand new boat
Pumped his belly full so he would float
And they cut his flukes and they dragged him in
And no longer could he swim

Now your hulking breaching masses play
On the playground out beyond the waves
And the chimneys of your spouted breath
Tell me now at last that you are safe

Though the sharks still wallow near the pier
We have changed our tunes my dear
And you sing away your bonny song
And you can freely travel on
