Walt Grace’s Submarine Test, January 1967 John Mayer

[Verse 1]
Walt Grace
Desperately hating his whole place
Dreamed to discover a new space
And buried himself alive

Inside his basement
Tongue on the side of his face meant
He's working away on displacement
And what it would take to survive

[Pre-Chorus]
Because when you're done with this world
You know the next is up to you
And his wife told his kids he was crazy
And his friends said he'd fail if he'd try

[Chorus]
But with the will to work hard
And a library card
He took a homemade, fan-blade
One-man submarine ride

[Verse 2]
That morning
The sea was mad and I mean it
Waves as big as he'd seen it
Deep in his dreams at home
