1983 lyrics

Hooray, I awake from yesterday
Alive, but the war was here to stay
And so, my love Catherina and me
Decide to take a last walk
Through the noise to the sea
Not to die, but to be reborn
Away from a life so battered and torn
Forever, aahh, forever

Oh, say, can you see, it's really such a mess
Every inch of earth is a fighting nest
Giant pencil and lipstick tube shape things
Continue to rain and they cause screaming pain
And the artic stains
From silver blue to bloody red
As our feet find the sand and the sea
Is straight ahead, straight ahead

Well it's too bad, that our friends
Can't be with us today
"The machines that we've built will never save us"
That's what they say
(That's why they ain't coming with us today)
And they say that it's impossible
For man to live and breathe underwater forever
Was their main complaint
(And they also threw this in my face)
They say anyway, it would be
Beyond the will of God and the grace of the king
So my darling and I make love
In the sand to salute the last moment
Ever on dry land
Our machine has done it's part of work
Without a scratch on our bodies and we bid it farewell
Starfish and giant foams greet us with a smile
Before our heads go under, we take a last look
At the killing noise of the out of style
The out of style, out of style

So down and down and down and down
And down and down we go
Hurry, my darling, we mustn't be late for the show
Neptune champion games to an aqua world is so very dear
Right this way smiles a mermaid
I can hear Atlantis full of cheer
Atlantis full of cheer
I can hear Atlantis full of cheer
