come on down to the bottom of the sea
come on down here
ya there's room right next to me
i'm tired of getting even
lets get odd odd
and live life at the bottom of the sea
too many cars drinking too much gasoline
there's no good news on my tv screen
there's a hole up in the sky so lets dive dive dive
and live life at the bototm of the sea
if the morning light ever calls you backwards
if the surface begs you home
if the morning light ever calls you backwards
just don't be gone too long
don't leave me here alone
come on down to the bottom of the sea
come on down here
ya there's room right next to me
i'm tired of getting even
lets get odd odd
and live life at the bottom of the sea
if the morning light ever calls you backwards
if the surface begs you home
if the morning light ever calls you backwards
just don't be gone too long
don't leave me here alone
come on down to the bottom of the sea
come on down here
ya there's room right next to me
i'm tired of getting even
lets get odd
and live life at the bottom of the sea
