Bathysphere

Artists : Cat Power : Bathysphere

When I was seven
I told my mother
To take me to the bay
And put me on a ship

Silver swordfish, eel electric
I can feel or dream down here

oh oh oh oh oh
oh oh oh oh oh

If the water should cut my line
If the water should cut my life
If the water should cut my mind
Set me free
I don't care
I want to live in a bathysphere

When I was seven
My father said to me,
"But you can't swim."
And I've never dreamed
Of the sea again

oh oh oh oh oh
oh oh oh oh

If the water should cut my life
If the water should cut my line
If the water should cut my mind
Set me free
I don't care
I want to live in a bathysphere
