Somewhere at the bottom of the ocean I am floating past the algae The whale bones, so pretty But my body Still didn't make the grade Still didn't make the grade Somewhere in the basement I once had A good idea but I can't find it My mind is drawing blanks To fill the page But I still won't make the grade Still won't make the grade I'm regaining patience In the better half of man And the stories we'll remember Are from a different hand Somewhere at the bottom of my brain I just don't care and I don't want to But I do, anyway Anyway I still won't make the grade Still won't make the grade I'm regaining patience In the better half of man And the stories we'll remember Are from a different hand Somewhere at the bottom of the ocean I am floating past the algae The whale bones, so pretty My body Still won't make the grade Still won't make the grade Still won't make the grade Still won't make the grade Still won't make the grade
