lyrics

MANATEES

When I saw the wee beatle breathing in paralyzer,
The paralyzer keeping it on its back
It was the first time I would feel it, how the world is always bleeding
And the memories run dry

I don't need any hope so now I'm handing it over,
Handing it over to the weak and the damned
Because despite the stormy weather you do know it's now or never
There's no need to weep cause you know

I'll be with you there
When you are out in the rain at least you feel you're alive
The water is wet but it's fine
Your eyeballs will not get too dry
And someday
The rain may turn into sea, we'd sail away to the bright
The water is wet but it's fine
And we'd sing with the manatees

Dum da da dum dum da da da da da dum dum dum da da da da oh oh oh
Dum da da dum dum da da da da da dum dum dum da da da da oh oh oh

Then I saw all the ponys going round in the fairground
Going in circles with their eyes covered up
Their heads down like prostitutes who have got nothing else to lose
Insensitivity delight

I'm not going to tell you that it's gonna get better
Sometimes it doesn't and the ponys know that
So start to wake up from your slumber cause we'll never be much younger
Than we are today and you know

I'll stay with you there
When you are out in the rain at least you feel you're alive
The water is wet but it's fine
Your eyeballs will not get too dry
And someday
The rain may turn into sea, we'd sail away to the bright
The weight would be lighter than light
And we'd sing with the manatees

Dum da da dum dum da da da da da dum dum dum da da da da oh oh oh
Dum da da dum dum da da da da da dum dum dum da da da da oh oh oh

I'm not going to tell you that it's gonna get better
Sometimes it doesn't and the ponys know that
So start to wake up from your slumber cause we'll never be much younger
Than we are today
