Do you ever feel...

[terrycloth]

i lie below
you float above
in pretty white ships
i've been dreaming of
and I'd like to swim beside you getting dizzy in your wake
getting close enough to touch you getting brave enough to take you into my arms
and drag you down
to be with me

but i can't do that thing anymore
can't be the thing i was before
maybe i'd be better off alone
because i crush everything and i crush everything and i crush everything

my body's strong
my will is weak
i've got pretty nice arms
but i hate my beak
and the dolphins are all phonies they seem nice enough at first
they pretend to be your friends until they see you at your worst and then they leave you
without a word
they swim away

so i can't do that thing anymore
can't be the thing i was before
maybe i'd be better off alone
because i crush everything and i crush everything and i crush everything

and everything i want i take
and everything i love i break
and every night i lie awake

did the stars come out
did the world spin round
doesn't matter that much
when you're ten miles down
in the light that filters down into my giant yellow eye
i can see the sails unfurling spreading wide against the sky and i forgive them
i forgive
and i let go

'cause i can't do that thing anymore
can't be the thing i was before
maybe i'd be better off alone
because i crush everything and i crush everything and i crush everything
i crush everything and i crush everything and i crush everything

i lie below
you float above
in pretty white ships
i've been dreaming of
