lyrics

Up in mystery sea we begin the ride, an evolutionary journey taking us to the coastline
From a humble leaf we start to show some teeth, a fascination with the surface and what lies
beneath

How Many sunsets till we get where we wanna get?
At the moment I’m nocturnal oooo I travel at night – until I get my yellow stripes
Baby, I’m sticking with my family Its safer in a crowded bunch
Don’t wanna be nobody’s lunch

Are we moving up stream today
To the ocean to hibernate
The eel the fish and the submarine
Form a line against technology
1000 leagues in the luke warm seas
To replicate and disintegrate
Oooooo Catch a lift on the tidal drift
Fresh river take us in and start again

By Day I’m a Glass Eel by night I’m an Elver, My slender little frame gains a pound that’s my culture
We are young and we swim against gravity, from way up here we get a better view of the sea

How many full moons till my fate is doomed?
For now, I’m climbing waterfalls oooo I’m fighting the fight until I get my silver stripes
Baby down in the muddy banks down where we reside
A nice dark place to hide

UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU x 6

I’ve followed the stream now I’m at the end,
I’ve migrated to the big unknown ooooo the mysterious place
I’ve morphed from stage to stage
Baby time to take my place in the greater order of things
I fall and then it begins
