Lyrics
[Intro]
[Instrumental Interlude]
[Chorus]
Like Cousteau in his bathyscaphe
Looking for my best life at the bottom
On my shoulders a neck, on my neck a scarf.
And just above it's late autumn
[Instrumental Hook]
[Verse 1]
Dead poets' favorite time
Full of romance and mysticism
Then it's easier to find a rhyme
Laying out words like light through a prism
[musical breakdown]
[Verse 2]
The world goes quietly mad
We're all here in the same ward
It's neither good nor bad
Unless you think you're a king or a lord.
[Instrumental Hook]
[Verse 3]
The cold draws patterns on the windows
I'm counting the cracks in the ceiling
Somebody's nightmares are bitten by black widows.
Some are poison, some are healing
[musical breakdown]
[Verse 4]
I don't ask the cuckoo
How long I have left to live
It's sure to never tell the truth
It's not living, it's more like survive
[Instrumental Hook]
[Bridge]
My obsessive thoughts
My kryptonite.
Confuse my plots
They rob me of my might
[Chorus]
Like Cousteau in his bathyscaphe
Looking for my best life at the bottom
On my shoulders a neck, on my neck a scarf.
And just above it's late autumn
[Instrumental Hook]
[Verse 3]
The cold draws patterns on the windows
I'm counting the cracks in the ceiling
Somebody's nightmares are bitten by black widows.
Some are poison, some are healing
[musical breakdown]
[Verse 4]
I don't ask the cuckoo
How long I have left to live
It's sure to never tell the truth
It's not living, it's more like survive
[Instrumental Hook]
[Bridge]
My obsessive thoughts
My kryptonite.
Confuse my plots
They rob me of my might
[Chorus]
Like Cousteau in his bathyscaphe
Looking for my best life at the bottom
On my shoulders a neck, on my neck a scarf.
And just above it's late autumn
[Instrumental Hook]
[Verse 1]
Dead poets' favorite time
Full of romance and mysticism
Then it's easier to find a rhyme
Laying out words like light through a prism
[musical breakdown]
[Verse 2]
The world goes quietly mad
We're all here in the same ward
It's neither good nor bad
Unless you think you're a king or a lord.
[Chorus]
Like Cousteau in his bathyscaphe
Looking for my best life at the bottom
On my shoulders a neck, on my neck a scarf.
And just above it's late autumn
