    June was the lobster shell,
    I dug by hand, a haven that hid me well,
    Beneath the sand,
    The white windy waves washed in,
    But I stayed dry,
    The great breakers broke again,
    'Cause I'm on and off inside.
    And then, when the empress run aground,
    And my eyes turned blue and green,
    I heard a gorgeous sound,
    And that's when it became a dream,
    When the sky fell in,
    When the hurricanes came for me,
    I could finally crash again,
    And that's how I became the sea.
    I wrenched the engines off,
    And dragged them down,
    The depths turned the iron soft,
    As they swiftly drowned,
    And I brought the ocean side,
    To its rusty knees,
    As I felt the even tide,
    Deep in my shallow dreams.
    And then, when the empress run aground,
    And my eyes turned blue and green,
    I heard a gorgeous sound,
    And that's when it became a dream,
    When the sky fell in,
    When the hurricanes came for me,
    I could finally crash again,
    And that's how I became the sea.
    (When the sky fell in),
    When the sky fell in,
    (When the sky fell in),
    When the hurricanes came for me,
    I could finally crash again,
    And that's how I became the sea,
    That's how I became the sea,
    That's how I became the sea.
