Glass Eel

[Verse 1]

Up in mystery sea we begin the ride

An evolutionary journey taking us to the coastline

From a humble leaf we start to show some teeth

A fascination with the surface and what lies beneath

How many sunsets 'til we get where we wanna get?

At the moment I'm nocturnal oooh I travel at night

Until I get my yellow stripes

Baby, I'm sticking with my family It's safer in a crowded bunch

Don't wanna be nobody's lunch

[Chorus]

Are we moving up stream today?

To the ocean to hibernate

Thе eel, the fish and the submarine

Form a linе against technology

1000 leagues in the lukewarm seas

To replicate and disintegrate oooh

Catch a lift on the tidal drift

Fresh river take us in and start again

[Verse 2]

By day I'm a glass eel by night I'm an elver

My slender little frame gains a pound that's my culture

We are young and we swim against gravity

From way up here we get a better view of the sea

How many full moons 'til my fate is doomed?

For now I'm climbing waterfalls

Oooh I'm fighting the fight

Until I get my silver stripes

Baby, down in the muddy banks down where we reside

A nice dark place to hide

[Chorus]

Are we moving up stream today?

To the ocean to hibernate

The eel, the fish and the submarine

Form a line against technology

1000 leagues in the lukewarm seas

To replicate and disintegrate oooh

Catch a lift on the tidal drift

Fresh river take us in and start again

[Verse 3]

I've followed the stream now I'm at the end

I've migrated to the big unknown

Oooh the mysterious place

I've morphed from stage to stage

Baby, time to take my place in the greater order of things

I fall and then it begins

[Chorus]

Are we moving up stream today?

To the ocean to hibernate

The eel, the fish and the submarine

Form a line against technology

1000 leagues in the lukewarm seas

To replicate and disintegrate oooh

Catch a lift on the tidal drift

Fresh river take us in and start again
