Deep Sea Divers Songtext
von Something for Kate

Woken by a whale song, by a siren blast
All those deep-sea divers of Brooklyn
The phantom buses swimming past
When the morning is rolled out onto the set
I see two crows sharing a cigarette

While you′re waiting by the catering truck
Parked outside of yesterday's news
For the starlet, for the stuntman
For some sign of a camera crew
Then I swear I overhear somebody say
"Well, the sky in here looks so blue today

I could drop all my lines, I could throw my ropes into the water
I could change my mind now today looks the same as tomorrow
If I could kill only the time that truly deserves to die, then so will I"


I see jet streams, trails of small talk
Phosphorescence on an ocean of air
And I move slowly along the bottom
Past old folks in their folding chairs
Then Yolanda asks if I got any change?

Well, that′s exactly what he, what she said
Yesterday and I gave her all I had in my pockets
Just 'cause she's a real swell guy
And she never ever breaks character
Crashes my scenes or steals my lines
And I swear if her pretty red toenails could speak
They′d say ′there's no one else worth pretending to be

I could drop all my lines, I could throw my ropes into the water
Oh, I could change my mind when today looks the same as tomorrow
Oh, I could kill all of the time that truly deserves to die
If I could kill all of the time that truly deserves to die
Oh, when I′ve killed only the time
That truly deserves to die then, so will I'
