lyrics

Isn't it sweet to retreat to a water-world?
Isn't it fine to unwind?
Isn't it hard to believe there's another world
that can ignore space and time?

Wouldn't you like to be part of a bigger thing
out of the womb of the sky?
Plankton will sparkle and shine in the nether-world,
if I were them, so would I.

Bottom-feeders closing in,
and the flapjack devilfish flies again!
Water-babies pose and grin,
and the flapjack devilfish flies again!

How did you come to reside in your bubble here?
When did you first learn to dive?
Vertebrate life is a cinch in a bathysphere,
timing each breath to the tide.

Bet that you feel like a much smaller entity
down with the starfish and squid.
Deep in the darkness, there is no identity,
only the urge of your id.

Bottom-feeders closing in,
and the flapjack devilfish flies again!
Water-babies born to swim
and the flapjack devilfish flies again!
