Diving Bell Lyrics
Fare thee well
Please don't get into my diving bell
I'm lost at sea
In present company
Mouths are moving like machinery
The pressure drops
My ears begin to pop
The dinner cocktail hour is drifting off
Fare thee well
I'm plummeting the depths of my diving bell
Another sun
Another moon
Another man coulda been
Another tune
He may have even looked a bit like you
Another time
Another place
Another man coulda made the same mistakes
And I can't take the parallels
Fare thee well
No one's gone into my diving bell
All I can give
In my underwater clear
A rush of blood pounding upon my ear drums
A bathroom stall
My admiral's cabin
Water seeping and I fall asleep again
Another day
Another year
Another carousel through
In the deadly other world
Another me
Another you
Another space I can torpedo to
Hidden in the bathroom
Fare thee well
Please don't get into my diving bell
I'm lost at sea
Trailing through these city streets
Beyond the other world is rippling
Please don't get into my diving bell
In present company
Mouths are moving like machinery
My ears begin to pop
The dinner cocktail hour is drifting off
I'm plummeting the depths of my diving bell
Another moon
Another man coulda been
Another tune
He may have even looked a bit like you
Another place
Another man coulda made the same mistakes
And I can't take the parallels
No one's gone into my diving bell
In my underwater clear
A rush of blood pounding upon my ear drums
My admiral's cabin
Water seeping and I fall asleep again
Another year
Another carousel through
In the deadly other world
Another you
Another space I can torpedo to
Hidden in the bathroom
Please don't get into my diving bell
Trailing through these city streets
Beyond the other world is rippling

According to Tim himself: "Certainly the more (most?) surrealist of tracks on the record, it concerns a gentleman getting too tipsy among a group of peers at a bar, only to drift off into a sort of netherworld where he questions the possibility of another self on another planet doing the same thing."
