Lyrics

[Verse 1] Have you ever been down deep? I mean way down under the ocean Just inside Odin's reach Better beware of his potion [Chorus] And remember you don't belong It always seems so unfair The fishes around will always remind you Got to move slow, take it easy down there You've only so much air [Verse 2] When you get a little deeper If you slow down, you might keep her The sea, unforgiving and she's hard But she'll make love to you Show you glimpses of the stars At about two-hundred feet, you realize the peril But seductive is the deep That shark over there holds no terror [Chorus] For a while you really belong The ocean will always share You become one like friends and lovers So remember take care She'll try to keep you there [Verse 3] The deeper you go 'Cause of the pressure of the air Nitrogen comes and goes, gets you high It's an alien atmosphere They call it rapture of the deep But you're not afraid You're too far down by now to be scared Two hundred eighty seven feet I saw Jesus and it made sense that He was there [Chorus] So belong or don't belong There's plenty of ocean to share Please take heed, there's mouths to feed The ocean should provide Don't take more than you need 'Cause heaven just might be the sea
