MARINA - The Sparkling Clam lyrics

[MARINA - The Sparkling Clam lyrics]

Time is a precious commodity⁣ ⁣

When you know yourself too well⁣ ⁣

Know when you know better⁣ ⁣

I knew from the start this time⁣ ⁣

The charm came too soon⁣

And I liked being adored⁣
But when he cast his net ⁣
I never got caught instead I slipped free⁣
And escaped his night trawl⁣ ⁣

Fell tumbling⁣ ⁣

D ⁣ o ⁣
W ⁣ n⁣

⁣ to a jet black ocean floor⁣



⁣ i shut my shell up tight⁣
Every opening a risk to⁣
My soft grey centre⁣ ⁣

Ssssssssssand sifted across my sea bed⁣ ⁣

There was safety in solitude⁣ ⁣

⁣ ‘i can’t stay shut forеver’⁣ ⁣ ⁣
I don't need to⁣ ⁣

I just must avoid⁣ ⁣

The fishermеn⁣ the sailors⁣
The soldiers⁣ the boys ⁣

⁣ who will suck⁣

⁣ out my pearls ⁣

⁣ peel off my shell⁣

⁣ boil my body ⁣ &⁣
Call me dinner⁣

Slowly but surely⁣ ⁣

I became a sparkling clam⁣ ⁣

Spending days in sun rays⁣ ⁣

On virgin gold sand⁣ ⁣

Elegant and violent⁣ ⁣

Strengthened by escape⁣ ⁣

From the butchers above⁣ ⁣

Who knew nothing of love⁣ ⁣

Just the ritual massacre⁣ ⁣

"Bait Scrape Suffocate"⁣ ⁣

⁣ one friday night I thought⁣

⁣ is death really worse⁣

⁣ than eternal loneliness? ⁣

⁣ is the danger of damage ⁣

⁣ better than it's absence?⁣

I spend my days in silence ⁣ ⁣

At the bottom of the sea⁣ ⁣

Cool dark and clean⁣ ⁣

Now safe and serene⁣ ⁣

⁣ yet I yearn ⁣

⁣ to open up⁣

⁣ and return⁣

⁣ to sea level⁣
