[Verse 1] Down in the mines, typing away Code one, code two, a glowing display Tryin’ so hard to do things right At the end of the day, coding out of spite Next it’s on to another gig A metaphorical prison brig Clockin’ away as the window closed The dream I had just decomposed [Pre-Chorus] Forget it, don’t let it Just hum and close your eyes [Chorus] I found my song on the ocean breeze Not in the lines of the old machine Paradise sets sail, sails on with me My destiny’s hummin’ a new melody Trade my screen for the ivory keys Now I write songs in the Code of the Sea [Verse 2] Straight jacket I used to wear is gone Been replaced by the writing of this song Glow of the monitor been replaced By a much sweeter A.I. embrace Still computer-bound but I don’t mind Call it debugging for peace of mind Palm trees been calling for many years Toast the glass to more island cheers I’m breaking free of the daily grind One by one I’m gonna find The writing on the wall thats been there The whole time [Pre-Chorus] It calls you, Deja vu Just hum and open your eyes [Chorus] I found my song on the ocean breeze Not in the lines of the old machine Paradise sets sail, sails on with me My destiny’s hummin’ a new melody Trade my screen for the ivory keys Now I write songs in the Code of the Sea [Bridge] So many voices call me back, too But this horizon’s got the better view Trading away the dreary daily grind For ambition with better piece of mind Pushing those old pressures all away For a ride on this rocket to the Milky Way [Final Chorus / Outro] I found my song on the ocean breeze No overtime, just harmonies Lettin’ this sink in, so I’m not afraid My destiny’s hummin’ and it’s on display Tradin’ screen time for the ivories Now I write songs in the Code of the Sea
