Deeper Down lyrics - Crowded House

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
