So my love, Ca

therina and me

,
  
decide to take

 our last walk

 through the n

oise to the se

Not to die but

              
 to reborn,  a

   
way from lands

 so battered a

Forever, forev

Oh say, can yo

u see it's rea

lly such a mes

  Every inch o

ighting nest
       
Giant pencil a

nd lipstick tu

be shaped thin

gs,
   
Continue to ra

in and cause s

creaming pain
           
And the arctic

 stains from s

ilver blue to 

bloody red as 

our 
             
feet find the 

              
sand,  and the

              
 sea is straig

           
ht ahead, stra

          
ight up ahead

bad that our f

            
riends, can't 

       
be with us tod

Well it's too 

bad
            
The machine, t

      
hat we built,
             
would never sa

        
ve us, that's 

what they say

That's why they ain't coming with us today
              
And they also 

            
said it's impo

              
ssible for a m

       
an to live and

 breathe under
              
water,      fo

 
rever, was the

ir main compla

And they also 

threw this in 

my face, they 

said:
            
Anyway, you kn

So my darling 

and I make lov

to salute the 

last moment ev

Our machine, i

t has done its

 work, played 

its part well
           
Without a scra

tch on our bod

 it farewell
   
Starfish and g

Before our hea

Of the out of
