Lyrics

[Verse 1]
This one's called Stella was a Diver and She's Always Down
[Verse 2]
When she walks down the street
She knows there's people watching
The building fronts are just fronts
To hide the people watching her
She once fell through the street
Down the manhole in that bad way hey
The underground drip
It's just like her scuba days
[Verse 3]
Days
Days
Days
Days
Days
[Verse 4]
She was alright 'cause the sea was so airtight
She broke away
She was alright 'cause the sea was so airtight
She broke away
She was alright but she can't come out tonight
She broke away
She was alright 'cause the sea was so tight
Airtight
[Verse 5]
She broke away broke away
She broke away broke away
She broke away broke away
She broke away
[Verse 6]
(Stella is a diver)
(Stella is a diver)
[Verse 7]
Bottom of the ocean she dwells
Bottom of the ocean she dwells
Crevices caressed by fingers
And fat blue serpent swells
[Verse 8]
Stella
Stella
Oh Stella
Stella I love you
Stella I love you
Stella I love you
[Verse 9]
She was alright 'cause the sea was so tight
She broke away
She was alright 'cause the sea was so tight
She broke away
She was alright but she can't come out tonight
She broke away
She was alright yeah the sea was so tight
Airtight
[Verse 10]
She broke away broke away
She broke away broke away
She broke away broke away
She broke away
[Verse 11]
Well she was my catatonic sex toy love joy diver
Well she was my catatonic sex toy love joy diver
She went down down down there into the sea
She went down down down there down there for me
Right on
[Verse 12]
Oh yeah
Right on
It's so good
Oh yeah
Right on
It's so good
Oh yeah
[Verse 13]
There's something that's invisible
There's some things you can't hide
Try to detect you when I'm sleeping
In a wave you say goodbye
[Verse 14]
There's something that's invisible
There's some things you can't hide
Try to detect you when I'm sleeping
In a wave you say goodbye
