Steel walls cold as a winter night
Looking out at a strange new light
Deep down where the heavy water flows
A garden grows where no sunlight goes
Electric blue in the velvet deep
A neon secret the oceans keep
Glowing gold on a coral floor
I can't look away from the open door
I'm just a cook in a greasy town
But here the stars are swimming down
Salty air and a heavy metal shell
A quiet place where the colors swell
Electric blue in the velvet deep
A neon secret the oceans keep
Glowing gold on a coral floor
I can't look away from the open door
Blue salt crystals on a silver pane
A different kind of summer rain
The lifepod shakes in a steady beat
While the coral bloom feels a sudden heat
No more orders for a side of fries
Just the magic of these alien skies
Turn the burner off and let it slide
Take a long look at the rising tide
Sifting through the brine and the heavy silt
A glowing city that the water built
No more regulars with their morning brew
Just a thousand shades of a sapphire hue
Electric blue in the velvet deep
A neon secret the oceans keep
Glowing gold on a coral floor
I can't look away from the open door
Lock the door and throw away the key
I'm staying here in the sapphire sea
Far away from the diner's yellow glare
In a liquid world with a heavy air
Electric blue in the velvet deep
A neon secret the oceans keep
Glowing gold on a coral floor
I can't look away from the open door
Keep the coffee hot
Keep the coffee hot
Electric blue
