"Foreign Sounds" lyrics

BrhyM (Bruce Hornsby & yMusic) Lyrics

"Foreign Sounds"

Oh I was made on a coral reef
In the time before the bleach
And I'm drifting, I'm drifting
Like a ship out on the sea
I'm a wanderer, I'm plankton
Another baby clownfish, you see
And I hear my home but only sometimes
The din of today is getting in my way
Oh what are all these loud
Unbearable foreign sounds
They were never there before
And it now happens more and more

And I can't find my way home
Maybe doomed to wander the sea alone
Might as well be blind
So the sounds lights my way
And I'm hoping one day
They'll all go away

I'll wait on the bye and bye
'Til these massive husks go by
Then I'll go back living my life
Avoid those who plant and stay awhile
And if that thing should stay
We'll just have to move away
And if I had ears I'd cover them forever
Create my own silent way

And I can't find my way home
Maybe doomed to wander the sea alone
Might as well be blind
So the sounds lights my way
And I'm hoping one day
They'll all go away
All go away
Go, go away

The worst are the ones that come and stay
We don't have much time anyway
Iron and steel planted feet
We'll all wash up on the beach
The powers that be
Oh I beseech

And I can't find my way home
Maybe doomed to wander the sea alone
Might as well be blind
So the sounds lights my way
And I'm hoping one day
They'll all go away

I'm hoping they'll see they're misguided
Realize and pack up, pack up and go away
