Lyrics
I am becalmed Lost to nothing Warm weather and Holocaust

Left to die by two good friends Abandoned me and put to sleep Left to die by two good friends Tears of God flow as I bleed

So ladies, fish and gentlemen Here’s my angled dream See me in the blue sky bag And meet me by the sea

Oyster boys are Swimming for me now Save me from the Death-like creatures

Oyster boys are swimming now Hear them chatter on the tide We understand, we understand But fear is real and so do I

So ladies, fish and gentlemen Here’s my angled dream See me in the blue sky bag And meet me by the sea

Oyster boys are Swimming for me Just one deal is what We made now

Forest keys and whirlwind cold Green keys too and keys of gold Even locks that won’t explode When the skies become a scroll

So ladies, fish and gentlemen Here’s my angled dream See me in the blue sky bag And meet me by the sea
