Stella Was A Diver And She Was Always Down

(album: Turn On The Bright Lights - 2002)

"This one's called 'Stella Was a Diver and She's Always Down'"

When she walks down the street
She knows there's people watching
The building fronts are just fronts
To hide the people watching her

But she once fell through the street
Down a manhole in that bad way
The underground drip
Was just like her scuba days

Days
Daze
Days
Daze

She was all right 'cause the sea was so airtight, she broke away
She was all right 'cause the sea was so airtight, she broke away
She was all right but she can't come out tonight, she broke away
She was all right 'cause the sea was so tight, airtight
She broke away, broke away
She broke away, broke away
She broke away, broke away
She broke away

She lies in no place
She lies in nowhere
She lies in no place
She hides in nowhere
She hides in nowhere

At the bottom of the ocean she dwells
At the bottom of the ocean she dwells
From crevices caressed by fingers
And fat blue serpent swells
Stella, Stella, oh Stella
Stella I love you, Stella I love you, Stella I love you

She was all right 'cause the sea was so airtight, she broke away
She was all right 'cause the sea was so airtight, she broke away
She was all right but she can't come out tonight, she broke away
She was all right yeah the sea was so tight, airtight
She broke away, broke away
She broke away, broke away
She broke away, broke away
She broke away

Well, she was my catatonic sex toy, love-joy diver
Well, she was my catatonic sex toy, love drug diver
She went down, down, down there into the sea
Yeah, she went down, down, down there
Down there for me, right on

Oh yeah, right on
So good, oh yeah, right on
So good, oh yeah

There's something that's invisible
There's some things you can't hide
Trying to detect you when I'm sleeping
In a wave you say goodbye

There's something that's invisible
There's some things you can't hide
Trying to detect you when I'm sleeping
In a wave you say goodbye
