I lie below, you float above
In the pretty white ships that I've been dreaming of
And I'd like to swim beside you

Getting dizzy in your wake
Getting close enough to touch you
Getting brave enough to take you into my arms

And bring you down to be with me

But I can't do that thing anymore

I can't be the thing I was before
Maybe I am better off alone
Because I crush everything

And I crush everything
And I crush everything


My body's strong, but my will is weak
I got pretty nice arms, but I hate my beak
And the dolphins are all phonies

They seem nice enough at first
They pretend to be your friends
Until they see you at your worst and then they leave you

Without a word they swim away

So I can't do that thing anymore

I can't be the thing I was before
Maybe I am better off alone
Because I crush everything

And I crush everything
And I crush everything


And everything I want I take
And everything I love I break
And every night I lie awake


Did the stars come out? Did the world spin round?
Does it matter that much when you're ten miles down?

And in the light that filters down
Into my giant yellow eye
I can see the sails unfolding

Stretching white against the sky and I forgive them
I forgive and I let go


Cause I can't do that thing anymore
I can't be the thing I was before
Maybe I am better off alone

Because I crush everything
And I crush everything
And I crush everything


And I crush everything
And I crush everything

And I crush everything

I lie below, you float above

In the pretty white ships that I am dreaming of
