lyrics
Back when they weren't trained to look for bodies
But I could because I had this hobby
Deep down with the long black eels
I can't describe the way I'd feel
Going down to look for bodies
Deep down in three old wrecks
That I had found that they hadn't found yet
I started up a museum of the Great Lakes
Full of all the things that I couldn't take
Cause I can't believe the things I'd find
Or harder still the ones left behind
All those things that the water kept
Burned an image that I can't forget
Going down to look for bodies
When I was looking for someone not buried
Into the dark to where they're carried
And when I knew that I was the only one breathing
I can't describe the way I was feeling
Going down to look for bodies
All those things they left behind
Cause no one gets to keep their bodies
No I can't believe the things I'd find
Going down to look for bodies
All those things they left behind
Going down to look for bodies
No I can't believe the things I'd find
But I could because I had this hobby
Deep down with the long black eels
I can't describe the way I'd feel
Going down to look for bodies
Deep down in three old wrecks
That I had found that they hadn't found yet
I started up a museum of the Great Lakes
Full of all the things that I couldn't take
Cause I can't believe the things I'd find
Or harder still the ones left behind
All those things that the water kept
Burned an image that I can't forget
Going down to look for bodies
When I was looking for someone not buried
Into the dark to where they're carried
And when I knew that I was the only one breathing
I can't describe the way I was feeling
Going down to look for bodies
All those things they left behind
Cause no one gets to keep their bodies
No I can't believe the things I'd find
Going down to look for bodies
All those things they left behind
Going down to look for bodies
No I can't believe the things I'd find
