goddess in that sea

I don’t wanna wear my denim jacket

cos it reminds me of a dark night lost in space

the stripes that curled their way around your neck

and within moments, fingers, inches – then your face

I don’t wanna close my eyes no more

there’s an image sketched into the back of my eyelids

I could escape to the other side of the world

and still the burning in my eyes and my lips

You could view a million trillion black bubbles

bobbing up and down beneath you

lost at sea – on ground you know you don’t belong to

but you won’t find the goddess in that sea

I left the streets upon which we started (and ended)

your words crawled beneath my skin

you hit the ground running cos it’s easier

but there’s a secret we both hold within

You could view a million trillion black bubbles

bobbing up and down beneath you

lost at sea – on ground you know you don’t belong to

but you won’t find the goddess in that sea

She sings for you – She dances for you – she thinks of you – she fantasises too

She sleeps for you – she wakes for you – she breathes for you – and waits too…

You could view a million trillion black bubbles

bobbing up and down beneath you

lost at sea – on ground you know you don’t belong to

but you won’t find the goddess in that sea

no, you won’t find the goddess and that is me

no, you won’t find the goddess in that sea…
