stab a sorry heart

With your favourite finger

Paint the whole world blue

And stop your tears from stinging

Hear the cavemen singing

Good news they're bringing





Seven seas

Swimming them so well

Glad to see

My face among them

Kissing the tortoise shell





A longing for

Some fresher feeling

Belonging

Or just forever kneeling

Where is the sense in stealing

Without the grace to be it





Seven seas

Swimming them so well

Glad to see

My face among them

Kissing the tortoise shell





Burning my bridges

And smashing my mirrors

Turning to see if you're cowardly

Burning the witches with mother religious

You'll strike the matches and shower me

In water games

Washing the rocks below

Taught and tamed

In time with tear flow





Seven seas

Swimming them so well

Glad to see

My face among them

Kissing the tortoise shell





Seven seas

Swimming them so well

Glad to see

My face among them

Kissing the tortoise





Seven seas

Swimming them so well

Glad to see

My face among them

Kissing the tortoise shell
