Underwater Moonlight - The Soft Boys

He was white and she was white as only statues are

Fifty years they stood there looking stupid by a jar

One night in mid-august when the moonlight got too strong

They climbed off their pedestal and then they sang this song

Past the gun emplacement and the bones as white as bleach

Through the rats and ivy till they came out on a beach

Out into the ocean till they disappeared from view

Honey, when it gets you there’s just nothing you can do

Underwater moonlight sets the body free

Underwater moonlight baby you and me

Underwater moonlight

Underwater moonlight

He was pink and she was pink and onward they did row

Didn’t see the giant squid, though it was fairly slow

When they hit the bottom they were well and truly dead

The statues took their place and then they rowed back home instead

Underwater moonlight, take your baby down

Underwater moonlight, watch you baby drown with love

And in the moonlight — Underwater moonlight

Underwater moonlight

Underwater moonlight

(there are a few quiet lines here I cannot make out)

Once again

Once again

I can take you down — Moonlight

Below the sea — Moonlight

Why don’t you feed the fish?

— Moonlight

I’ll make you feed the fish — Moonlight

I’ll watch you feed the fish — Moonlight

I’ll watch you feed the fish — Moonlight

Underwater moonlight sets the body free

Underwater moonlight baby, you and me

Underwater moonlight

Underwater moonlight

Underwater moonlight

Underwater moonlight
