From Turn on the Bright Lights:

Stella was a Diver and she was Always Down

This one's called "Stella was a diver and she was always down"

When she walks down the street
She knows there's people watching
The building fronts are just fronts
To hide the people watching her

But she once fell through the street
Down the man-hole in that bad way
The under ground drip
Was just like her scuba days

Days
Daze
Days
Daze
Daze

She was alright 'cause the sea was so air-tight, she broke away
She was alright 'cause the sea was so air-tight, she broke away
She was alright but she can't come out tonight, she broke away
She was alright 'cause the sea so tight, air-tight

She broke away, broke away
She broke away, broke away
She broke away, broke away
She broke away

[She lies in no place]
[She lies in nowhere]
[She lies in no place]
[She lies in nowhere]

Bottom of the ocean she dwells
Bottom of the ocean she dwells
From crevices caressed by fingers
And fat blue serpent swells

Stella, Stella, Oh Stella
Stella, I love you
Stella, I love you
Stella, I love you

She was alright 'cause the sea was so air-tight, she broke away
She was alright 'cause the sea was so air-tight, she broke away
She was alright but she can't come out tonight, she broke away
She was alright, yeah, the sea so tight, air-tight

She broke away, broke away
She broke away, broke away
She broke away, broke away
She broke away

(Paul kisses the mic)

Well, she was my catatonic sex toy, love-joy diver
Well, she was my catatonic sex toy, love-joy diver [And she was my catatonic sex toy, love joy diver]
She went down, down, down there into the sea [She went down, down, down there into the sea]
And she went down, down, down there, down there for me [Down]

Right on
Oh yeah
Right on
So good
Oh yeah
Right on
So good
Ooh yeah

[There's something that's invisible]
[There's some things you can't hide]
[Try detect you when I'm sleeping]
[In a wave you say goodbye]
[There's something that's invisible]
[There's some things you can't hide]
[Try detect you when I'm sleeping]
[In a wave you say goodbye]
