MANATEES
When I saw the wee beetle breathing in paralyser
The paralyser keeping it on its back
It was the first time I would feel it
How the world is always bleeding and the memories run dry
I don?t need any hope so now I?m handing it over
Handing it over to the weak and the damned
Because despite the stormy weather you do know it?s now or never
Theres dont need to weep cause you know
I?ll be with you there
When you are out in the rain at least you know you?re alive
The water?s wet but it?s fine
Your eyeballs will not get too dry
And someday
The rain may turn into sea, wed sail away to the bright
The weight would be lighter than light
And wed sing with the manatees
Dum da da dum dum da da da dum dum dum da da da da oh oh oh
Dum da da dum dum da da da dum dum dum da da da da oh oh oh
Then I saw all the ponys going round in the fairground
Going in circles with their eyes covered up
Their head down like prostitutes who have got nothing left to lose
Insensitivity delight
I?m not going to tell you that it?s gonna get better
Sometimes it doesn?t and the ponys know that
But start to wake up from your slumber cause we?ll never be much younger
Than we are today and you know
I?ll stay with you there
When you are out in the rain at least you know you?re alive
The water?s wet but it?s fine
Your eyeballs will not get too dry
And someday
The rain may turn into sea, wed sail away to the bright
The weight would be lighter than light
And wed sing with the manatees
Dum da da dum dum da da da dum dum dum da da da da oh oh oh
Dum da da dum dum da da da dum dum dum da da da da oh oh oh
I?m not going to tell you that it?s gonna get better
Sometimes it doesn?t and the ponys know that
But start to wake up from your slumber cause we?ll never be much younger
Than we are today
