The Bathysphere Song

from Seriously​?​! by Grant Sharkey

/

about

A good man explores the wet, leaving his friends and family behind.

lyrics

A tale of sorrow - a tale of woe.
A submariner by the name of Beau,
Sinking deeper in his diving bell,
Singing his song to the guts of hell.

"I keep on going down...there's no-one here in my Bathysphere."

Across the sea in the town of Hurley,
Beau's best friend Big Man Curly,
Know's just where his friend has gone,
And leads his friends in their terrible song,

"Yo ho - old Beau - at the bottom of the sea,
On his own - self inflicted solitary
We all know - that he's never coming home,
With deep regret - we know we've got to let him go"

"I keep on going down...there's no-one here in my Bathysphere and it smells like hell in my diving bell...but I keep on going down."

Two boys, three dogs and one little girl,
Lost their daddy to a diving bell,
He wanted to see what's beneath that foam,
His soul can't be blamed for wanting to roam.

"I keep on going down..."
