And I thought I heard you worse
And I thought I heard your words
But I'm quite sure that you'll tell me
So that I don't feel too gay.
But I'm quite sure that you'll tell me
Just how I should feel today.
Echo in a shallow bay
I can and shall obey
Eye cannon, shallow bay
I can and shall obey.
For I was mistaken
Thought I was mistaken
Hikin' at a shallow bay
I can and shall obey
How does it fail
How does it feel
How does it fear?
How does it feel?
How does it steal
How does it feel
I am a shadow bay
I can and shall obey
I can accelorate.
I can and shall obey.
I can enshadow pain
I can and shall obey
I can't in shout of aid.
I can and shall obey.
I cannon shallow bay
I can and shall obey
I see a ship in the harbor
A cold and shallow bay.
I see a ship in the harbor
I can and shall obey.
I see a ship in the harbor
Anchored at shallow bay
I see a ship in the harbor
I can and shall obey
I see a ship in the harbor
I look on shallow bay
I see a ship in the harbor
I can and shall obey
I see a ship in the harbour:
Icon in shallow bay
I see a ship in the harbour
I can and shall obey
I see that s**t and I shudder
I'm shallow and thats OK
If I was another misfortune
I'd be in heaven with a person today
I see a ship in the harbour
I can and shall obey
If it wasn't for your misfortune
I'd be a heavenly person today
I see that sh*t and I shudder
I can at shallow bay
My life is just misfortune
I'd be having it pleasant today.
I see a ship in the harbour
I can and shall obey
But if it wasn't for your misfortune,
I'd be a heavenly person today.
I swim in Cheddar Bay.
I can and shall obey.
I'd be having a pleasant day.
or
I'd be in Heaven, present day.
I'd be a Heavenly person today.
I can in shadow bay
or
I can and shallow bay
or
I'm canning celery
or
I'm canning celery
I can and shall obey
Those who came before me
Live through avocations
Those who came before me
Lived through their vocations
Those who came before me
Lived through their vacations.
Those who came before me
Lived through their vocations.
Thought I was forsaken
Thought I was mistaken
