Arthur Brown - Swimfish lyrics

Well, we've nailed down the truth
In a coffin of lies
With our spells and our cunning deception
The evil of our nature buzzes
'round us like flies
Is it too late to find our connection?

Oh we've all been tourists on
The shores of Hell
To help us forget to remember
When you're going nowhere
Everywhere's a hotel
And the guests have no name and no number

So open your heart and sing this with me
Love is my religion, a wide, endless sea
Let us swim with the fish
That have always been free
And we'll touch what our
Dreams have forgotten
So open your heart and sing this with me
Love is my religion, a wide, endless sea
Let us swim with the fish
That have always been free
And we'll touch what our
Dreams have forgotten

Well, the ground is all sick
And the air cannot breathe
We've infected our sons and our daughters
We've wasted the gifts that life
Gave us in trust
And we've poisoned the plants and the waters

We stand in the court all
Accused of our crimes
Only mercy still left to defend us
The animals watch as the judge makes a sign
Will she save us or just simply end us?

So open your heart and sing this with me
Love is my religion, a wide, endless sea
Let us swim with the fish
That have always been free
And we'll touch what our
Dreams have forgotten
So open your heart and sing this with me
Love is my religion, a wide, endless sea
Let us swim with the fish
That have always been free
And we'll touch what our
Dreams have forgotten
