We drove too slowly before we jumped

You spoke into the steering wheel

"Darling we'll be there soon

Long ago--

Great metal giants fell into the sea

The way I crumbled and fell into you"

Our tyres were slipping and

You smiled and you blinked

Closed your eyes and drove us under

Deep below the iron Atlantis

Laughing, you said--

"Darling we'll be there soon
Long ago--
Great metal giants fell into the sea
The way I crumbled and fell into you"

It wasn't long 'till the sun set and joined us

You led me out of the car and held me

[Tell me, tell me you mean it forever]

The phantom dolphins carried us far

To a pearly bed on sand and scale--

My first night with you

I fell, I fell, I fell into you
