You got me rollin’ around
Frog on my hand
Holy shazam!
I see you on a submarine
You're the fishy queen.
If you pull me apart don't swallow my heart.
Heart!
(Whoo-ooo-ooo-ooo)
You got me (you’ve got me) under the sea
Trying to swim, to find you again.
I know you’re gonna be on a submarine
But what can I do? (What can I do?)
What do we do?
I saw you on the periscope, looking right at me,
torpedo in your hand.
Backstroking wildly, turning the tide green,
Now here is where we land. (Yeah!)
When I pull you apart
I’m gonna swallow your heart.
What we do in the school of Neptune
I’m guessing your eyes hold a clue.
Yeah what can we do in a pool made for two?
Let’s turn on the jets and see.
One, two (you’ve got me, rollin’ a- rollin’ around)
What do we do? (frog on my hand, holy shazam)
If you pull me apart
Don't swallow my
If you pull me apart
Don't swallow my
If you pull me apart
Don't swallow my heart.

Diamond Thumb

I’ve got a hole in my heart
A little glitter in my dreams.
A bit of hope, from when you wrote
Let’s turn the lights out.
It came to you, it came to me
When wide awake and fast asleep.
Baby won’t you take our love…
On the run
With a diamond thumb
Better lee-eee-eee-eee-eave at least a thousand crumbs.
Twenty hours to the mark
Do I need the magic spark?
Under these repeated thoughts…under the dots
I’m
On the cusp
Oooh Oooh Oooh Oooh Oooh Oooh Oooh Oooh
On the run!
Oooooooooooooh
Oooh Oooh Oooh Oooh Oooh
It came to you, it came to me
When wide awake and fast asleep.
Baby won’t you take our love…
On the run
With a diamond thumb
Better lee-eee-eee-eee-eave at least a thousand crumbs
On the run
From the grips of one
Just keep those arms around you…be….
’cause
I’ve got a hole in my heart
A little glitter in my dreams.
Another scratched out memory
In time for lights out.
Twenty hours to the mark
Do I need the magic spark?
Under these repeated thoughts…under the dots
We’re
On the run
With a diamond thumb
Gonna lee-eee-eee-eee-eave at least a thousand crumbs.
On the run
With a diamond thumb
Better lee-eee-eee-eee-eave or eat a thousand crumbs.
On the run
Oooooooooh Ooooooooh

Well, I don't need your sympathy
But I could use your company
Crawl into a mystery
That I call you.
So come inside and be my
Skin and bones.
I just want the world to see
What's inside of me
Mmmm, what's inside of me.
Maybe tonight
If I could sleep tonight
We could fall on through
And I could drive this evilness
That breathes inside of me.
Ooohh, yeah, yeah
Well, I don't need your sympathy
But I could use your company
Just to see if it could bring
These things true.
So come inside and be my
Skin and bones
I just want the world to see
What's inside of me.
Yeah, what's inside of me.
Yeah maybe tonight
If I could sleep tonight
We could fall on through
And I could drive this evilness
That breathes
Oh I could try if only you
Could free
What’s inside of me
(La la lo)
Yeah
What's inside of me
(La la lo)
Mmm…what's inside of me
(La la lo)
Yeah, what's inside of me
(La la lo)
Oh, what's inside of me
(La la lo)
Yeah, what's inside of me
(La la lo)
Yeah…oh
What's inside of me?

Modern Times

I lost my thrill, I caught the chills.
I couldn’t take it any other way.
Look what’s behind, what would I find?
I nearly slipped into the modern times.
The sun was shrunk, my eyes were glazed.
I couldn’t take it any other way.
I’ve been lost in a haze (I’ve been lost in a haze)
Pulling the wires out of my head.
I’ve been lost in a haze (lost in a haze)
Like Chaplin on a stargaze.
Was just like clockwork when I stepped in the mud..
I couldn’t make it any other way.
I’ve been lost in a haze (been lost in a haze)
Pulling the wires out of my head.
I’ve been lost in a haze (been lost in a haze)
Like Chaplin on a stargaze.
The city lights are gleaming…
Cut through the night in waves.
(Light streams)
And with my eyes still blinking…
I’m disembodied and amazed…
(amazed)
I’ve been lost in a haze (been lost in a haze)
Turning the fires in my head.
I’ve been lost in a haze (been lost in a haze)
Watching the sand break the hourglass. (yeah)
I’ve been lost in a haze (been lost in a haze)
Like Chaplin on a
It couldn’t happen any other way
(stargaze)
It couldn’t happen any other way
(stargaze)
It couldn’t happen any other way
(stargaze)
It couldn’t happen any other way.

Natural Selection

My love
Brings me stars above
Like the forest flames
My love comes
My love
Like the flower she wore
An echo of the moon
A splinter in the rain
By natural selection
My love changes perfection
She brings me my reflection
A sign of my love
My love
dizzier than the sun
Like the forest flames….
she took my breath away
I’ll go my direction
To get my love's affection
I’ll send her my reflection
A sign of
My love
My love
My love
My love……

Let’s cannonball inside
Watch the ripples spread
The shore is liquified.
(fi-yi-yi)
Sink into the water, roll in the abyss…
Sinking ever further…all you know is this…
Hold your head above the water,
Keep your toes out of the sand. (fi-yi-yi)
Peel your eyes with clementines…
Now it’s time to descend.
Sinking slowly,
Senses sharpening
Everyone’s lonely under the sea.
Burying secrets in the deep.
Let’s hurry down below
Ten thousand feet we go
Swallowing some bubbles…
(fi-yi-yi)
Sink into the water, roll in the abyss…
Sinking ever further…all you know is this…
Hold your head above the water
Keep your toes out of the sand.
Peel your eyes with clementines…
Now it’s time to descend.
Sinking slowly,
Vision darkening,
Everyone’s lonely under the sea.
Burying secrets in the deep.
(Oooh oooh oooh)
Just start looking up
The sunlight cuts through
Swells of waves and signals…
In all the shades of blue.
Hold your head above the water,
Keep your toes out of the sand. (fi-yi-yi)
Peel your eyes with clementines…
Time to let go and descend.
Time to let go and descend.
Time to let go and descend.
(Fi-yi-yi)
(Fi-yi-yi)
