lyrics

Fishtanqs rupture all around and fish swim out to sea.
There's no silence more profound than that of fish set free.
Alabaster potted palms drop fronds on marble shores.
The naked palm trees beg for alms to the sound of fishy snores.

The ocean waves along the sand but never reach the shore,
so hermit crabs along the beach must always ask for more.
However high the oceans rise they can't eclipse the sun,
Which poaches of its own free will as soon as day is done.

But you & i are far away, our hearts are dancing fast.
I wish we had more time to play, but we're dancing in the past.
Fishtanqs rupture all around and the fish are finally free.
There's no silence more profound than that of you & me.
The fish are gone to sea...
The fish are gone to sea...
