lyrics

High Heeled Flippers

Long have I waited
Down under the waves
Wrecked in the Grande Coral Ballroom
The ceiling’s corroded and
Barnacles hold up the stage

The room's black as pitch
So your entrance was missed
You and your high heeled flippers
You know
Leaving fresh prints
In one hundred years of sediment

Now I am forever
Stuck in my ways without
Sunshine to see
Just an electric ray
Cast adrift in sub time
What I'm trying to say
I've stopped breathing
For so long
I've forgotten how

And I'm living
In my hologram
Of memory

Electric tentacles
Swing to and fro
Silently pulsating faster
Gliding through eons of silence
To join in the dance

The mind tricks the eye
Is it you that I see?
Mary I swear that you're
Calling to me
I try to let go
But I've lost track of
All that I know

Long have I waited
Down under the Sea
Mary I know that someday
You'll come calling for me
As I float here, so impatiently
