INTRO | | | | VERSE Oh, come away from the day, here I stay | Living on the bottom of the sea Down metal snake, corridors, steely gray | Engines hum for nobody but me BRIDGE No sound comes from the sea above me | No messages crackles through the radio leads Chorus They'll never know, never, no, never How strange life in dark water can be INTERLUDE | | | | VERSE Oh, mariners spare a thought when you pass | Those who live the submarine life Far in the deep sonar eyes never sleep | Hiding like a shadow in the night BRIDGE Jet planes nose through the clouds above me | They look for radar traces of me to see Chorus They'll never know, never, no, never How strange life in dark water can be INTERLUDE | | MIDDLE 8 Wonder what the stars look like Coming out tonight Tell my girl she must be strong She sits and waits all night long, yeah, yeah Just looking for a better day She'll have to find another way to go INTERLUDE | | | | SOLO I | | | | INTERLUDE | | | | SOLO II | | | | | | | | | | | | | | INTERLUDE | | | | VERSE No memory, tell me what's wrong with me | Why am I alone here with no rest And now the name of the ship's not the same | How long has it been Marie Celeste? BRIDGE Now there's nobody from the crew left | Five hundred years supply of food just for me Chorus They'll never know, never, no, never How strange life in dark water can be Chorus They'll never know, never, no, never How strange life in dark water can be OUTRO | | | | |
