Deeper Down
Neil Finn

The whale lies
Washed up in the shallows
Stinking to high heaven
People running round gasping
Why oh why
I am never one to wallow
I leapt into the ocean
Went diving deeper down

Let’s go deeper down now
Let’s go deeper down
Let’s go deeper down now
Let’s go deeper down

There’s someone hiding in the shadows
A young man dim and callow
He’s stolen all my clothes
Hungry eyes of imaginary lovers
Devils must be dancing
In the mind of every man

(Let’s go deeper down)
When you think it’s getting rough
On the surface high above
I’m always reaching out for love
A little deeper down
In my nature you can trust
More than hunger, more than lust
I’m always reaching out for love
A little deeper down

Like any flower on earth
From the moment of my birth
My desire is to open up

Hold me
Love me

When you think it’s getting rough
On the surface high above
I’m always reaching out for love
A little deeper down
In my nature you can trust
More than hunger, more than lust
I’m always reaching out for love
A little deeper down
