Lyrics

Set sail
For I am like the whale.
I’m on a different frequency:
Salt water’s my cup of tea.
Literally.

Look around.
Adventure can be found.
Dolphins abound and say hello.
They’ll show me which way to go,
I know.

There is no horizon.
I cannot set my eyes on
The ocean, the ocean.

I feel a storm approachin’
Like seagulls in slow-motion.
Me and my mermaid girlfriend
Ballroom dance on a wave in the ocean.
But keep in careful mind
‘Cause you will always find
Endless danger to brave on the ocean.
But that’s just the way the ocean is.

Show no fear,
For on this strange frontier
Monsters can smell the fear in you.
That’s how they know just who to
Pursue.

We may (just slightly)
Just slightly lose our way, (lose our way)
But trust me with navigations,
I know the constellations.
…well some.

There is no horizon.
I cannot set my eyes on
The ocean, the ocean.

I feel a storm approachin’
Like seagulls in slow-motion.
Me and my mermaid girlfriend
Ballroom dance on a wave in the ocean.
La la la la la the ocean.

Oh yes we ballroom dance on a wave in the ocean,
And you can’t stop our love.
Yes we ballroom dance on a wave in the ocean,
And you can’t stop our love.
In fact we ballroom dance on a wave in the ocean,
And you can’t stop our love.

We ballroom dance to the rhythm of the tide
Though my body’s on land, but my heart will reside
In the only place I’ve ever felt pacified
Or atlanticized, as it were
I refer to the ocean.

(Ocean…)
