It's where we swam to, when I was younger
|
I remember how, you held me under
|
I was brand new, being underwater
|
But I'm stronger now, that I am a father
|
All the work is now, weight on my shoulders
|
'Bout the future, and how we're getting older
|
And it's funny now, seeing you around
|
Wearing that silly frown, it doesn't suit you
|
|
And I've been kinda thinking about the simple life
|
How I wanna lead it
|
I've been kinda thinking about the real world
|
You welcome me to it
|
|
I...I - I - I
|
|
It was a bad idea, bringing them here
|
Because they have shifty eyes
|
All they see is paradise
|
But I've got a home here, what I've worked for
|
And it's over there that I get an answer that I want to hear
|
Not facts and figures about the atmosphere, how I could affect it
|
|
And I've been kinda thinking about the simple life
|
How I wanna lead it
|
I've been kinda thinking about the real world
|
You welcome me to it
|
|
I...I - I - I
|
|
With battle we fought up pavilion
|
Caused us to retreat three hundred miles to the safety of our New Brighton
|
Where we treat a hundred-twenty
|
And with the front lines crossed, we slowly reveal no secrets at all
|
We're just lonely boys with our submarine toys
|
|
And I've been kinda thinking about the simple life
|
How I wanna lead it
|
And I've been kinda thinking about the real world
|
You welcome me to it
|
|
I...I - I - I
