Shellcracker
Deep water runs over me
As I swim down to see what I can see
Blue ribbon tide sweeps me away
And I call to the fish inside myself
Not long behold the current holds me fast
And I'm looking for the way I can swim past
Here's the time, here's the time
That I stand
Shell cracker owns the bottom where there's sand
Swimming through the algae looking for a piece of land
He can can conquer and look at before he sleeps.
Baby bride slips away
The ocean tide pulls away
I'm standing away from anything at all
I don't have courage
I'm not a hero
But still I've got that American spirit living in me
Living on me, living through me
Shell cracker owns the bottom where there's sand
Sweeping through the algae looking for a piece of land
He can can conquer and look at before he sleeps.
Oh won't you slip into the ocean tide with me
We will swim beyond the reef
I'll show you magic and things you've never seen
Through a great big glass portal that will wake through your dreams
Like a surfer, riding on a wave that we have never seen
Like a surfer, flowing, on a wave that we've never seen
A wave that I've never seen
Shell cracker owns the bottom where there's sand
He sweeps across the algae with his fins as a fan
He waits for you in the shallows and the recesses
So a catfish cannot get to you
You smile like an ocean pearl and you smile!
Sweep me away in the sunlit stream
I'll find a cause and I'll find my dream
To look at things that I've never seen
And here we go
It's like everything's dressed up in the mundane
Oh, here we go
It's like everything's dressed up in the mundane
Shell cracker owns the bottom where there's sand
Sweeping through the algae looking for a piece of land
He can conquer and look at before he sleeps.
