lyrics

You wanna fish me from the lake
For the Holy Mother’s sake
Don’t you know I need to change?

I’ve been a floater for so long
All I do is gravitate
Don’t you know I need to change?

I’ve tried my best to warn you
I’m not one to wait with open arms
I left the ship
The bridge is yours for life

And now I’m back to zero
Yeah now I’m back to zero
To square 1

The belly of an octopus
A hexagonal madeleine
Don’t you know I’ve been away?

I smell of deep sea amplified
Too deep for you to penetrate
Don’t you know I need to change?

I left the ship
The bridge is yours for life

And now I’m back to zero
Yeah now I’m back to zero
To square 1
