lyrics

I was there on the eve of the end of all things
With a girl in my arms and the peace that that brings
We were fast asleep under the sycamore tree
With the dreams in our heads of all…we could be
We woke to the sound of the death of the world
And from that moment on, that was all that we heard…we heard


The sea arose quickly and swallowed the town
In the blink of and eye our world started to drown
It smothered our friends and the people we love
And all of the places we’ve grown tired of
So we set sail inside a Mock Turtle shell
And with oars made of bones, we cast off into Hell

Oooohh la la (we go)

We were carried off into the oily sea
It swirled and it danced around my girl and me…Hold

The sky began whirlin’ like cigarette smoke
It filled up our lungs and we started to choke so…
Then…overboard, into the brine we did go
Hand in hand down to the city below…we go…

Pre chorus
Oooohh la la (we go)

The dead were a floatin’ down familiar streets
They pass each other but they never meet
Just as my lungs could not take anymore
I was struck by the feeling we had been here before

BREAK

When a monster approached from the darkness ahead
A thousand sharp teeth and a light on its head

Its eyes were aglow like the silvery moon
They were on us like lamps in the shadowy gloom

With no where to hide and no one left to save
As I held my girl tight in that watery grave

We were swallowed up whole by this beast of the sea…

And woke again under the sycamore tree…
