Grown Up Shape - Me And My Drummer

The mornin' wind and the smell of ancient springtimes

Smoke stacks build the skyline of this town

This could have been a jungle out of a children’s book

If those power palls wouldn’t remind us of our time

Today I am a bulgy submarine

Floating patiently below the surface

Below the oil slick, and below the sunlight

And this is exactly where I was meant to be

Leave me alone with all my cheap dreams

And please don’t say you know me

'Cause you don’t know me

You got it all wrong

Not above the water

But below there is my home, home

Deep down in the blue we blossom fairly

Submarine bodies and creatures of the night

The deeper you come visitin' us, the more the pressure will condense you

It’s the cruel beings for whom the eclipse was made

I coil up down there and dream of your chunky strong hands

With which you used to carve me wooden swords

The memories, they vanish as we dive

And if you go for this feel free to come on board

Leave me alone with all my cheap dreams

And please don’t say you know me

'Cause you don’t know me at all

You got it all wrong

Not above the water

But below there is my home, home

The child and the savior

Don’t you dare misbehave

I am your savior, 'cause I got the grown up shape

Daddy and his waver

I am the boat, you are the wave

There is no misbehavior

I got the grown up shape

The child becomes a sailor, nature’s forces will obey

Daddy is his savior, 'cause he’s got the grown up shape

He’s got the grown up shape, he’s got the grown up shape
