lyrics

I just saw a man propose to a woman, they couldn't have been more than 18
They fell in love in a beautiful garden in the heat of a midsummer dream
And he says he's gonna take care of her, and give her what she needs
She's a strange little bird, miss Alabama queen

I just saw a man with his head on the shoulder of his debutante devotee
He was looking across the cafe table making coyote's eyes at me
So I asked the waiter in the Graceland shirt, "Why did I move to Tennessee?"
And he said, "Buck up, kid, I have reason to believe you'll be received..."

So I'm synchronized swimming in the great primordial soup
And I'm just beginning to look past the truth
And I'm looking for a lover whose star's crossed with mine
I'm deep blue diving, and baby, I'm doing fine

I just saw a woman smash the windows of her ex boyfriend's Chevrolet
She said, "The blame's really on me, I only got in it for the games
Cause I don't like it when they're nice to me, it just doesn't compute
When no one's bold enough to tell the truth"

I just saw a woman button her shirt a little higher and shield her eyes
Her bio says she's a movie character, but these days she's just a figment of whispers and lies
Cause it's the ones who smile the brightest, who most wanna see you bleed
They'll cut you down for trying to be free

So I'm synchronized swimming in the great primordial soup
And I'm just beginning to look past the truth
And I'm looking for some meaningful use of my time
I'm deep blue diving, and baby, I'm doing fine

I just saw myself in someone's eyes and knew I was being seen
And I just felt someone hold me so tightly that they aired out all my griefs
Now I can't help but trust him, so I guess we'll see how that goes
Took my hang ups and crushed 'em, now I'm letting go

Cause we're all floating away in the great absolute
And from the beginning that's been the truth
And the stars aren't too far away to let up a sign
We're deep blue diving, and baby, we'll be alright
Deep blue diving, and baby, I'm doing fine
