lyrics

I walk down to the ocean, I was standing on the weeds.
Snapping and crackling, feeling restless, relentlessly reckless and free
And the rocks formed small reservoirs, teaming with life from the sea.
Just kicking back, playing it cooool in this safe retreat next to me.

The hermits get together, start swapping their homes needlessly.
A fight brakes out but its soon resolved and the crabs are left happy.
Some little fish swim in formation. They are learning the ways of the sea
They take no notice of the fussy crustaceans. They must swim fast or die easily

The limpets are resilient as they wait to return to the sea
Solid as a rock clamped on tight. Nobody’s going to eat me!
But the gulls they look hungry and they pier with their dinosaur eyes
Looking for love, death from above, that’s the element of surprise.

And then all of a sudden, something catches my eye.
Blood red jelly has taken me by surprise.
But she means no harm, I can tell from the VIBE!
She says HEY! What’s up? Puts her tentacles up
And then swishes from side to side
Anemone!
