Everything is blue, We're underwater I think And we're on our way toward a city She turns the music volume up in our submarine Her hair is dark and her eyes are pretty Dolphins wave through the window The mermaids are jealous of her legs Dancing on the ocean floor Dancing on the ocean floor Moving on the ocean floor Dancing on the ocean floor A celebration and a careless smile Suddenly the Ocean King is putting us on trial He wants me to marry his daughter, I think But I'm in love with the last human being

I've been sitting on my roof in the middle of the night Thinking I'm wrong, but feeling I'm right There's something about the swing of the moon and the tide That makes young men wonder and young women cry They don't know where they're going They don't know where they've been They're just watching their hearts blow away on the wind Hearts on the wind, Hearts on the wind There they go--They're flying away But where we're headed, not one of us can say A clockwork cat whose eyes won't close He's got rings on his fingers and bells on his toes While the pretty lady's got his fiddle in hand And she's rocking to the rolling of the blue boy's band I've been watching jets fly across this coffee-stained sky I know I can't catch them, but still I try So roll down your windows, and hit the gas Your future is now, and your past is past Living for the loving of the sea and the sky The rolling of the earth and the wind whipping by The only thing better than not knowing you're wrong Is knowing that you were right all along

Well, thats the end of that story, and I guess it leaves you with kind of a funny feeling. You must be asking yourself--"Well, why would he tell a story like that?". Well because it leads up to the question that I want to ask you, specifically, What in the World are you doing here, anyway? What in the name of heaven compels you to come to a place like this, submit yourself to this kind of Vince Lombardy, Ra Ra kinda emotional deal... Don't you see what they're trying to do here, they're trying to pump you up with a lot of hot air. Which can lead you to busting your ass, and ending up in a funny farm somewhere....
