Underwater Moonlight Lyrics - Soft Boys

He was white and she was white as only statues are 

50 years they stood there looking stupid by a jar 

One night in mid-August when the moonlight got too strong 

They climbed off their pedestal and then they sang this song 

Past the gun emplacement and the bones as white as bleach 

Through the rats and ivy 'til they came out on a beach 

Out into the ocean 'til they disappeared from view 

Honey when it gets you there's just nothing you can do 

Underwater moonlight sets the body free 

Underwater moonlight, baby you and me 

Underwater moonlight, underwater moonlight 

He was pink and she was pink and onward they did row 

Didn't see the giant squid though it was fairly slow 

When they hit the bottom they were well and truly dead 

The statues took their place and then they rode back home instead 

Underwater moonlight, take your baby down 

Underwater moonlight, watch your baby drown 

And in the moonlight, underwater moonlight 

Underwater moonlight, underwater moonlight 

I can take you down through the sea 

(Moonlight) 

You can feed the fish 

(Moonlight) 

Why don't you feed the fish? 

(Moonlight) 

Why don't you feed the fish? 

(Moonlight) 

Underwater moonlight, sets the body free 

Underwater moonlight, baby you and me 

Underwater moonlight, underwater moonlight 

Underwater moonlight, underwater moonlight
