Walt Grace, desperately hating his whole place, |
| [00:53.90] |
Dreamed to discover a new space, |
| [00:56.90] |
And buried himself alive, |
| [01:00.36] |
Inside his basement, tongue on the side of his face when, |
| [01:05.85] |
He's working away on displacement, |
| [01:08.91] |
And what it would take to survive. |
| [01:14.42] |
Cos when you're done with this world, |
| [01:20.41] |
You know the next is up to you. |
| [01:25.10] |
And his wife told his kids he was crazy, |
| [01:30.95] |
And his friends said he'd fail if he tried, |
| [01:37.16] |
But with a will to work hard, |
| [01:40.10] |
And a library card, |
| [01:42.97] |
He took a homemade, fan-blade, one-man submarine ride. |
| [02:01.33] |
That morning, the sea was mad and I mean it, |
| [02:05.89] |
Waves as big as he'd seen it, |
| [02:08.90] |
Deep in his dreams at home. |
| [02:13.20] |
From dry land, |
| [02:14.90] |
He rolled it over to wet sand, |
| [02:17.89] |
Closed the hatch up with one hand, |
| [02:20.87] |
And peddled off alone. |
| [02:26.57] |
Cos when you're done with this world, |
| [02:32.54] |
You know the next is up to you. |
| [02:37.19] |
And for once in his life it was quiet, |
| [02:43.10] |
As he learned how to turn in the tide, |
| [02:49.40] |
And the sky was a flare, |
| [02:52.40] |
When he came up for air, |
| [02:55.13] |
In his homemade, fan-blade, one-man submarine ride. |
| [03:55.23] |
One evening, |
| [03:56.91] |
When weeks had passed since his leaving, |
| [03:59.89] |
The call she'd planned on receiving, |
| [04:02.89] |
Finally made it home. |
| [04:06.79] |
She accepted, |
| [04:08.84] |
The news she'd never expected, |
| [04:11.83] |
The operator connected, |
| [04:14.85] |
A call from Tokyo. |
| [04:20.41] |
Cos when you're done with this world, |
| [04:26.45] |
You know the next is up to you. |
| [04:30.97] |
Now his friends, |
| [04:32.40] |
Bring him up when they're drinking, |
| [04:36.95] |
At the bar with his name on the side, |
| [04:42.98] |
And they smile when they can, |
| [04:46.40] |
As they speak of a man, |
| [04:49.70] |
Who took a homemade, fan-blade, one-man submarine ride. |
