When we were angels, we looked down upon the earth

and said, "Let us go there!"

We plummeted downward and sank

beneath clouds like a deep sea divers.

And now nothing is, as nothing was.

And nothing was, as it was meant to be.

But we didn't know that.

And all in all it has been very pleasant

here on the bottom of the sea.

Where nothing is, as nothing was,

as it was meant to be.

We found such things

that we never knew existed.

And then we found that all

our preconceptions were somehow twisted

over what they were meant to be.

So now we just sing our silly songs

on the bottom of the sea.

And find solace were ever solace

can be found among the other angels

who sing songs on the bottom of the sea.

And the songs may be songs

or they may be rights turned into wrongs

as the angels sing their songs

on the bottom of the sea.

And nothing is as nothing was

and nothing is as it was meant to be.
