lyrics

The Priest wants dinner with a diplomant
For celebrating Copenhagen cellophane
Sergeant Starfish took a call
"the sea lamb sees land"
taking the bite to the bears

the sea lamb, still alive
the sea lamb slips by
"bringing the bears a little bite"

I have no spine
that's why I'm working for the sea lamb

we separate fate from aspirations
we love the upper crust of the crustaceans
an undersea economy of souvernirs
I'm sleeping with my money and my model's here
penning pomp for the population

a clockwork empire
the bodies hanging from the street lamps
and the sea lamb sees
what the sea lamb cares to

the bear claw outlaws
they wanna tell us how to live right
i'll keep the secret of the sea lamb
