Submarines

I believe submarines
Underneath deep blue seas
Saw the flag, japanese
No one will believe me
Ran back to the town bar
And I told the people how
I'd seen a submarine
And everyone laughed aloud
I did spy a periscope
Dead of night on the eastern coast
The police made them jokes
Told me I'd seen a ghost
Everyone thinks I'm a liar
No one knows the truth
If it was a bigger fire
I would be on the roof
Ships will rust in Baldwin Bay
(Let me go)
No one trusts what I say
(I don't know)
Oh my God no one pays
(Attention)
Overnight my hair turned gray
(Oh Oh Oh)
In the end it boils down to credibility
I had none so I will die with the secrets of the sea
Submarines
(Submarines)
