Jens Lekman - Postcard #12 lyrics

March 22nd, you know what year it is Snorkeling in the South China Sea Over a city built of coral reefs With tiger-striped fishes minding their own business I'm like a spaceship hovering in her sky Ooh, snorkeling in the South China Sea Ooh, snorkeling in the South China Sea I'm surfing their society The ocean's own little hierarchy The weak gets eaten by the stronger But the little gets stronger in number Coalitions and schools form Ooh, snorkeling in the South China Sea Ooh, snorkeling in the South China Sea Ooh Ooh A cleaner fish swims by Checking tails and fins for parasites Like a shoe shiner on Wall Street The blue-collar worker of the sea We all do what we can to get by Find a niche that keeps us alive Ooh, snorkeling in the South China Sea Ooh A current pushes me back to shore Sends a shiver across the ocean floor And the spaceship over the ocean surf Back to planet earth Ooh, snorkeling in the South China Sea Ooh, I'm snorkeling in the South China Sea Ooh, snorkeling in the South China Sea Ooh Ooh
