[Verse 1]
I sail alone
In a homemade boat
Repairs and jokes and stares
Everywhere I go
And then one night
Out about ten miles
The sea glowed far below
On the starboard side
[Chorus]
There underneath the waves
A drowned city was never saved
In a deep sea paradise
They know better than to rise
And if I had my way
I'd trade my own today
For the underwater life
[Verse 2]
The sailors laugh
At my unnamed craft
Ignore it and collect my coins
For hauling their trash
And every night
Where the sea goes deep
I drop sail and watch until
I drift off to sleep
[Chorus]
There underneath the waves
A drowned city was never saved
In a deep sea paradise
They know better than to rise
And if I had my choice
I'd trade my own of course
For the underwater life
[Chorus]
There underneath the waves
A drowned city was never saved
In a deep sea paradise
They know better than to rise
And if I had my way
I'd trade my own today
For the underwater life
[Outro]
Underwater life
Underwater life
Underwater life
Underwater life
