Underneath the water
We're prophets in disguise
Atop the pecking order
Sharks of unusual size
Through our glasses darkly
Are sights uncommon, rare
But what is down below us?
What could be waiting for us there?
In the bathysphere
Everything is clear
There's nothing much to fear
Down here in the sphere
In the bathysphere
Everything is clear
There's nothing much to fear
Down here in the bathysphere
Far out from Bermuda
Submerged in marine
None such barracuda
As were never ever seen
A slickhead bathytroctes
Might question our motion
But surely never mocked us
Or our life under the ocean
Like floating up above the earth
In a hot-air balloon
But in the trenches of the deep
In a liquid on the moon
In the bathysphere
Everything is clear
There's nothing much to fear
Down here in the sphere
In the bathysphere
Everything is clear
There's nothing much to fear
Down here in the bathysphere
Like floating up above the earth
In a hot-air balloon
But in the trenches of the deep
In a liquid on the moon
What we see here we can't keep
The stories only we will know
Forever dream and rarely speak
The dark adventures down below
In the bathysphere
Everything is clear
There's nothing much to fear
Down here in the sphere
In the bathysphere
Everything is clear
There's nothing much to fear
Down here in the bathysphere
