"Bathysphere" lyrics - CAT POWER

When I was seven
I told my mother
'Take me to the bay and put me on a ship'

Silver swordfish
Of electric
I can feel a dream down here

If the water should cut my mind
If the water should cut my life
If the water should cut my mind, set me free
I don't care
I want to live in a bathysphere

When I was seven
My father said to me
'But you can't swim'
And I never dreamed of the sea again

If the water should cut my life
If the water should cut my line
If the water should cut my mind, set me
Free

I don't care
I want to live in a bathysphere
