Big Wave
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I used to be crustacean
In an underwater nation
And I surf in celebration
Of a billion adaptations
Got me a big wave, ride me a big wave, got me a big wave
Got me a big wave, ride me a big wave, got me a big wave
I feel the need
planted in me
Millions of years ago
Can't you see
the oceans size?
Defining time
and tide
arising
Arms laid upon me
Being so kind
To let me ride
I scream in affirmation
Of connecting dislocations
And exceeding limitation
By achieving levitation
Got me a big wave, ride me a big wave, got me a big wave.
Got me a big wave, ride me a big wave, got me a big wave.
I feel the need
planted in me
Millions of years ago
Can't you see
the oceans size?
Defining time
and tide
arising
Arms laid upon me
Being so kind
To let me ride
Got me a ride
I got me a ride
