She said "I'm half on land and all at sea
There's not a damn thing left of me
You just go on and do your thing
And try not to treat me like a child."
I watched her sign the paperwork
Cash the checks and tip the clerk
She said, "well he always promised
He was gonna buy me something nice"
and we'll go dancing down the shore
those boys she loved don't dance no more
no more tears, a trace of salt
and when she says it's all her fault
well I don't know I could tell her true
that it ain't entirely so
he was a sucker and a gentle guy
never saw her look him in the eye
he was just the last in a long sad line
he drowned himself in drink
we'll go dancing down the shore
I wonder how she's keeping score
All my people drowning alone
Close your eyes and sink like a stone
You can't silence
Sirens on the telephone
all my life, I've steered a course
plotted charts by will and force
by the time of my third divorce
you could say I'm easy prey
you oughta seen her when she was young
an angel's face, a devil's tongue
and no man stood a chance among
the ones who danced too close
and we'll go dancing down the shore
down by the boarded-up liquor store
All my people drowning alone
Close your eyes and sink like a stone
You can't silence
Sirens on the telephone
I was worried she would lose her boys
She called her sisters just to her their voice
They had a band they called the Dealer's Choice
They used to play down at the shore
She disappeared for a week or two
I found myself without a clue
Why I cared so much for one who
Regarded me as a mark
and we'll go dancing down the shore
god help me, I've been accounted for
All my people drowning alone
Close your eyes and sink like a stone
You can't silence
Sirens on the telephone

This is a song with a funny little game.
Just listen to the words and see if you can guess what I am
I don't have a saddle or a bridle or a bit or a blanket or a shoe
I don't run a race over there in Kentucky
And trotting is not something I can do
I hang around at the bottom of the sea
Yeah - ol' Hippo Campus - That's me
(AllI Do)
All I do is hang here by my tail and watch the ocean currents go by
(All I Do)
All I do is hunt around for some food and look up at the crystal sky
(All I Do)
All I do is stay close to the sand I hide and I hope no one wants to bother me
(All I Do)
All I do is look for a little Philly that might want to go out with me
I didn't help anyone to win over the west and
Nobody rides on my back
I've never even seen a cow, boy
You better believe that
My curly tail wraps around the grass
I can move around but not too fast
(All I Do)
I swim around on the gulf side of the keys
No other guy has as many babies as me
(All I Do)
I find tiny crustaceans to be a satisfying meal and
at night the glowing squid are surreal
(All I Do)
I feel like I can fly with my little tiny wings
I get my name from my equestrian anatomy
(All I Do)
My mouth is small but my belly's really big
It's gotta be to hold 10 to 40 kids
The water is warm, the sun is nice
There's so many sights to see
There's stars & shells & snails & living reef
But not a single one looks like me

I’ve been living on cold salt water
Been crawling on my belly too long and
I’m gonna take a trip to where the sands are warmer for me
This aint no life feeding from the bottom
There aint no diginity in hiding in the holes to get what you need
I was a little crab when I lost my mom and dad
They took a boat and went off to Louisiana
With the promise to be saved, we all should be saved,
don’t you want to be saved?
The fisherman said “hey jump in my little crate
let me take you up above let me show you the way
You’ll even get a fresh tank of water”
Every now and then I think I hear mamma singing
Baby Baby I want you to know
there’s more sharks above than there are below
They will sink their hooks in you and take your soul
Baby baby I want you to know
there’s more sharks above than there are below
They will sink their teeth in you and tear out your soul
I’ve been hiding too long at the bottom of it all
I’ve been hiding too long
I’ve got a hard shelled skin, I got my claws within
I don’t want to give up I don’t want to give up
With a long way to go, I feel the undertow
I don’t want to give up I don’t want to give up.
As I lay my belly down in the sand
Dirty as I’ve ever been I fill my lungs with water
It all tastes the same
I traveled miles to feel this empty
A fallen angel at the bottom of this murky sea
Would not lay her eyes upon me
Guess its time for me to go
As I take my last breath I’ll know
There’s more sharks above then there are below

I’m great and I know it
I swim all night
The ocean is my oyster
My future’s looking bright
King of the sea
Big fish gonna show it
I’m great, and I know it
Got my sonar, turned up to 11
Sending schools of fishes
Off to fishee heaven
Sideswiped a tuna
Blowfish, you can blow it
I’m great, and I know it
Believe what you heard
I run this town
Feed on the bottom
Feet are on the ground
Jaws was the truth
That author was a poet
I’m great, and I know it
Ch.
Octupus’ garden, I’m not so impressed
Rather chase surfers, or snack on Jellyfish
Attacked chief brody
His boat they had to tow it

I know that you don't believe in me
I know you think I don't exist
Tell me the things that you see in me
Tell me your secrets and your every wish
You'll be surprised
Open your eyes
I will dream your dreams for you
When you don't have the guts to
Believe in things that might never come true
These are the things I can do
I know that you think that I am not real
You think that I am a fake
Tell me the things that you wish you could feel
I'll ask that you come awake
You'll be surprised
Open your eyes
I will dream your dreams for you
When you don't have the guts to
Believe in things that might never come true
These are the things I can do
You think that I am just making this up
I say that could be true
You want a way for your dreams to not stop
I say that could be you
You'll be surprised
Just close your eyes
I will dream your dreams for you
When you don't have the guts to
Believe in things that might never come true
These are the things I can do
I will dream your dreams for you
When you don't have the guts to
Believe in things that might never come true
These are the things I can do
