[Intro] [Verse 1] Down below the bay, the water's turning green and slow, bananas turning in the current, golden, row on row, a swordfish waits beside a crate, he's been waiting there for you, and the clams are clicking open, spitting pearls into the blue. [Chorus] Drift, drift, slow as the tide, drift, drift, with a swordfish at your side. [Instrumental | 8 bars | rippling arpeggio and bell tones carry the melody, beat steady] [Verse 2 | voice soft and floating, pads and arpeggio, breakbeat gentle] Hop up on the swordfish, and he cuts the water clean, past the circling sharks and every jellyfish between, there's a letter floating in the dark, a golden K, then O, and the N is by the clam shell, and the G is down below. [Chorus | pads swell, bell tones shimmer above, voice doubled softly] Drift, drift, slow as the tide, drift, drift, with a swordfish at your side. [Outro | beat drifts away, pads and arpeggio alone, voice hums the melody once, wordless, then fades]
