Marie And The Undersea
You wake up, your nose still raw, and still out of place
And all the lines left from your mask tattooed on your face
You've come to know there's only sleep and there's never rest
There is no room for imagination, someone once said
Marie as the undersea calls...
Marie as the undersea calls out, calls out your name
Next thing you're flicking your cigarette out of a window
If you are ripped off on the ride, well you'll never know
Then you say 'drop me off right here', and ambulance lights
Flash like a paparazzi waiting, all through the night
Marie as the undersea calls...
Marie as the undersea calls out, calls out your name
When the hospital ward starts to feel like you're deep undersea
You keep pulling the line for some more air but it does nothing
And where once you would see all the faces, now it's only eyes
You keep pulling the line for some more air but it's only eyes
This shift is over, dead on your feet, you're forced to walk home
'Cause all the taxis and the subways have been shut down
You've come to know there's only sleep and there's never rest
There is no room for imagination, someone once said
Marie when the undersea called...
Marie when the undersea calls out, calls out your name
