    It feels in dreams
    That everything is there for you
    The city breathes and pulses
    It's for you electron blue

    I knew that you could see right through it
    So this is where I give in to the machine
    Lift up your voice, feel gravity's pull
    Drown out the siren's ring

    Oh, it's all here where I keep it
    It's all in the submarine
    It's all a lot less frightening
    Than you would have had it be

    But that's the good news my darling
    It is what it's going to be
    So sing, sing for the submarine

    I tried to explain how it all begins
    How it's all destroyed and built again
    I knew that you could not believe me

    But now you're here and it's different
    How the light shines in your eyes
    In every second [Incomprehensible]
    It's then that I realized
    That the world as we know it, the high speed train
    We'll pick it all up and start again

    It's all here where I keep it
    It's all in the submarine
    It's all a lot less frightening
    Than we would have had it be

    But that's the good news my darling
    It is what it's going to be
    So sing, sing for the submarine

    The city did not collapse in a shudder
    The rain it never came
    At least my confessions made you laugh
    I know it's a little crazed
    But these dreams they seem so real to me

    It's all here where I keep it
    It's all in the submarine
    It's all a lot less frightening
    Than we would have had it be

    But that's the good news my darling
    It is what it's going to be
    So sing, sing for the submarine

    So this is where you trust me
    And this is where it begins
    It's all a lot less frightening
    Your tear, you let it in

    Tyrel and his mechanical owl
    A moth disguised as a leaf
    Don't tell me what tomorrow brings
    Climb into the hidden machine

    And sing, sing, sing
    Sing, sing, sing
    Sing, sing for the submarine
