I Never Went Surfing

from CURTSIE by The Mantis Opera

/

lyrics

Looking back
We used to celebrate
Howling in the night
Witness to a world returning to life

Learn to surf
Meet me at the end of the earth
Faces in the rocks
One-way conversations never stop


[I'm looking for money, take what you want, I need a train to take me home, I wait for hours and kill the time, by enhancing illusions in my mind, in this perfect house I'm never free, this is what my friends have done to me, I was bored before, but since I've gone, I'll never have to be alone!]


We've painted the walls with melodic verse
These songs belong to all of us

The advocates that come to preach
Every body is here to teach

I've learned a truth that hides in us
I'm liberated from the dark!


Looking back
You saved me from a heart attack!
Waking up outside
Is the only way you're gonna open your eyes

Now it's our turn
To let our songs dissolve in the ocean
Washed up on the shore
I'll never have to run away anymore.
