Grown Up Shape by Me and My Drummer Lyrics

[Verse 1]
The mornin' wind and the smell of ancient springtimes
Smoke stacks build the skyline of this town
This could have been a jungle out of a children's book
If those power palls wouldn't remind us of our time

[Verse 2]
Today I am a bulgy submarine
Floating patiently below the surface
Below the oil slick, and below the sunlight
And this is exactly where I was meant to be

[Chorus 1]
Leave me alone with all my cheap dreams
And please don't say you know me
'Cause you don't know me
You got it all wrong
Not above the water
But below there is my home, home

[Verse 3]
Deep down in the blue we blossom fairly
Submarine bodies and creatures of the night
The deeper you come visitin' us, the more the pressure will condense you
It's the cruel beings for whom the eclipse was made
[Verse 4]
I coil up down there and dream of your chunky strong hands
With which you used to carve me wooden swords
The memories, they vanish as we dive
And if you go for this feel free to come on board

[Chorus 2]
Leave me alone with all my cheap dreams
And please don't say you know me
'Cause you don't know me at all
You got it all wrong
Not above the water
But below there is my home, home

[Outro]
The child and the savior
Don't you dare misbehave
I am your savior, 'cause I got the grown up shape
Daddy and his waver
I am the boat, you are the wave
There is no misbehavior
I got the grown up shape
The child becomes a sailor, nature's forces will obey
Daddy is his savior, 'cause he's got the grown up shape
He's got the grown up shape, he's got the grown up shape
