Snorkeling 03:45
Sun beams from a movie scene are sparkling in a blue stream glistening like a mirrorball underneath it all sun beams make the water glow and the fish have colours that explode starring at me so curious oh the prettiness all the fishes in the sea don't know what they mean to me and I wonder if I'll ever want to go home all the fishes seem to be swimming oh so free I think I'm falling in love under the sea I think I'm falling in love Sun beams sink down low to the coral that lies below who knows how it got there in the past or if its ever gonna last sun beams drift on by to the rhythm of the rippled sky a school of you in the ocean blue off Vanuatu all the fishes in the sea don't know what they mean to me and I wonder if I'll ever want to go home all the fishes seem to be swimming oh so free I think I'm falling in love under the sea I think I'm falling in love Sun beams from a movie scene are sparkling in a blue stream glistening like a mirrorball underneath it all

there could be some criticism for that I'd expect mostly from my parent and the guys that I work with or they could be envious even think that I'm the man if I ever start living in my van could be a legend the guy that never pays rent could be a weirdo with more dollars than cents could be so confined I'd have to learn how to cram I wonder if I could live in a van big dreams big man big dreams there's thousands of ideas on pinterest people post of vans that look like cabin by the mountains or the coast they make it look so homely with a customised plan I wonder if i could live in a van I know nothing about wood work I wouldn't know what to do I'd have to buy a jigsaw a sander and a router too I hope that I can do it without cutting off my hands I wonder if I could live in a van big dreams big man big dreams I wouldn't need to garden or mow down and grass the pictures on my wall would be the scenery I'd pass and all of my neighbours will be my friends on the road and my pets would be Cane Toads oh don't you wanna feel that big old lump of steel put your foot down to the floor grip your hands on the wheel pull up by a coastline under a tausend moving stars and lie there with that girl in your arms big dreams big man big dreams what if you get sad? well I'll pump my own tires what if you get annoyed? well I'll sho out all the flies so you can call me a hobo call me a loof call me a flower child or say that I'm uncooth you can call me crazy for what I wanna do but I wanna start living in my van call me a beatnik or a subterrainian bum call me a dropout or a lame bohemian I'll call you from a lonely telephone booth and say I've got 4 wheels and the truth big dreams big man big dreams
