Malevolent Seascape Y Songtext
von The Extra Lens

You saw the ship meet the horizon
We saw it carry him away
And the streamers on the hull were the last things
To wink out of existence
As a light breeze came in from across the bay
You dug around in the sand
You came up holding something
And when you handed it over with that smile on your face
I knew the three of us meant less than nothing


I held the seashell next to my ears
But I didn′t hear anything
I held the seashell next to my ear
But I didn't hear anything

The dogfish swam beneath the jetty
Where our legs hung down
And the ocean hugged the sun with her long arms
As the lights came up above Chinatown
I guess this makes it all easier
I guess it′s smooth sailing now
I guess this irons out all the wrinkles from the fabric
I guess it never really mattered anyhow

I held the seashell next to my ear
But I didn't hear anything
I held the seashell next to my ear
But I didn't hear anything
