Lyrics

A winter's night
A creature, strange & bright
Appeared upon the porch in a dark storm
The minister said
"It's clearly mad in the head—
Pay it no mind, it'll go away."
You & I were thinking about a place
Below the sea
With stinging anemone
Coral, bright & white
& I was on a fast train to a deep oblivion
You didn't try to stop me; no, you asked
To come along
Come take the light
Of creatures of the deep;
Electric eels are fun, but tend to bite
Oblivion
It rhymes with Vivian
Rust-red things look gray beneath the deep
You & I were thinking about a decommissioned sub
A place submarine
We'd live life so serene
We were on a fast train to a drunk oblivion—
You bravely took my hand & we went merrily along
Jets & boats
Always found them fine
The creature on the front porch can't unwind
The sea captain said
"I'll fix him up with this:
Gin & quinine keeps away malaise."
We were crossing English channels
In Victorian times
In midget submarines
With parasols & twine
& I was going under in some deep oblivion;
You bravely took my hand
& sweetly came along
