Lyrics
There was no moon black sky on the night I jumped from the bridge toward the river I swear, I saw silver star light On the water's surface, a shimmer Under the pulse, I couldn't finish Didn't hear a splash or feel the cold Was for the bubbles for a minute Turned to ice, then cycloid scales of gold Turned to ice, then cycloid scales of gold My lungs deflated, my fingers weaved Rip-separated for gills to breathe Met my tongue over my sharp, new teeth Panicked, swimming, collapsed in the reeves Taken with the current to the sea Tried disrupting desperate dreams My belly empty, my body weak I had no sound, no way to speak I had no sound, no way to speak I was close to quiet death again When new instances broke me from the spell I killed a diamondback terrapin Was most scared of my awful self I woke up on cold stones, broken glass Winter beach at Long Island, and I found that I could still maneuver Slip slide on the sand and the cement Slip slide on the sand and the cement I opened sardine dream mermaid bar We served most oysters and caviar Leave your sea shells in our tall tip jar More like me, I swear there are Come for scallops, come to hear our songs Come if you're in awful, bad trouble Come if you're certain you don't belong Some get far, don't land in bubbles Some get far, don't land in bubbles (Bubbles) Some get far, don't land in bubbles Some get far, don't land in bubbles Some get far, don't land in bubbles (Bubbles) Some get far, don't land in bubbles
