Troy Kingi - Glass Eel lyrics
[Troy Kingi - Glass Eel lyrics]
An evolutionary journey taking us
To the coastline from a humble leaf we start
To show some teeth
A fascination with the surface
And what lies beneath
How many sunsets 'til we get
Where we wanna get?
At the moment I'm nocturnal oooh
I travel at night
Until I get my yellow stripes
Baby, I'm sticking with my family It's
Safer in a crowded bunch
Don't wanna be nobody's lunch
Are we moving up stream today?
To the ocean to hibernate
Thе eel, the fish and the submarine
Form a linе against technology
1000 leagues in the lukewarm seas
To replicate and disintegrate oooh
Catch a lift on the tidal drift
Fresh river take us in and start again
By day I'm a glass eel
By night I'm an elver
My slender little frame gains a
Pound that's my culture
We are young and we swim against gravity
From way up here we get a
Better view of the sea
How many full moons 'til my fate is doomed?
For now I'm climbing waterfalls
Oooh I'm fighting the fight
Until I get my silver stripes
Baby, down in the muddy banks
Down where we reside
A nice dark place to hide
Are we moving up stream today?
To the ocean to hibernate
Thе eel, the fish and the submarine
Form a linе against technology
1000 leagues in the lukewarm seas
To replicate and disintegrate oooh
Catch a lift on the tidal drift
Fresh river take us in and start again
Are we moving up stream today?
To the ocean to hibernate
The eel, the fish and the submarine
Form a line against technology
1000 leagues in the lukewarm seas
To replicate and disintegrate oooh
Catch a lift on the tidal drift
Fresh river take us in and start again
I've followed the stream now I'm at the end
I've migrated to the big unknown
Oooh the mysterious place
I've morphed from stage to stage
Baby, time to take my place in
The greater order of things
I fall and then it begins
Are we moving up stream today?
To the ocean to hibernate
Thе eel, the fish and the submarine
Form a linе against technology
1000 leagues in the lukewarm seas
To replicate and disintegrate oooh
Catch a lift on the tidal drift
Fresh river take us in and start again
Are we moving up stream today?
To the ocean to hibernate
The eel, the fish and the submarine
Form a line against technology
1000 leagues in the lukewarm seas
To replicate and disintegrate oooh
Catch a lift on the tidal drift
Fresh river take us in and start again
