Deep Sea Divers - Something For Kate

Woken by a whale song, by a siren blast

All those deep sea divers of Brooklyn, the phantom buses swimming past

When the morning is rolled out onto the set

I see two crows sharin' a cigarette

While you’re waitin' by the catering truck parked outside of yesterday’s news

For the starlet, for the stuntman, for some sign of a camera crew

Then I swear I overhear somebody say, «well the sky in here looks so blue today.

I could drop all my lines, I could throw my ropes into the water

I could change my mind now today looks the same as tomorrow

If I could kill only the time that truly deserves to die, then so will I

I see jet streams, trails of small-talk, phosphorescence on an ocean of air

And I move slowly along the bottom, past old folks in their folding chairs

Then Yolanda asks if I got any change

Well that’s exactly what he, what she said yesterday

And I gave her all I had in my pockets just 'cause she’s a real swell guy

And she never ever breaks character, crashes my scenes or steals my lines

And I swear if her pretty red toenails could speak

They’d say, «there's no one else worth pretending to be…»

I could drop all my lines, I could throw my ropes into the water

Oh, I could change my mind when today looks the same tomorrow

Oh, I could kill all of the time that truly deserves to die

If I could kill only the time that truly deserves to die

Oh, when I’ve killed only the time that truly deserves to die, then so will I
