"Submarines" lyrics

"Submarines"

I believe submarines
Underneath deep blue seas
Saw the flags: Japanese
No one will believe me

Ran back to the town bar
And I told the people how
I had seen a submarine
And everyone laughed aloud

I did spy a periscope
Dead of night on the eastern coast
The police made them jokes
Told me I'd seen a ghost

Everyone thinks I'm a liar
No one knows the truth
If it was a bigger fire
I would be on the roof

Ships will rust in Baldwin Bay
(Let me go!)
No one trusts what I say
(I don't know!)
Oh, my God, no one paid
(Attention!)
Overnight my hair turned gray
(Oh, oh, oh!)

In the end it boils down to credibility
I had none, so I will die with the secrets of the sea

(Submarine can't find me!)

Submarine

(Submarine!)
