The Diver Song Hop Along

That diver plays a violin
He never told of his secret sin

When he was playin' the angels would rise from the ocean
But one day his rowboat stopped floatin'
Somebody stole his violin
So he tied a rope around him
Said I don't feel much of anything

Then he dove into the water
Let the waves crawl around him

His hands need more than medicine
He jumped before the water knew what hit it

That captain played the tambourine
His heart was set on singin' to the sea
If he'd only found the perfect guitarist
He wouldn't feel that hopelessness or restlessness
It never occurred to him to learn on his own
He sailed along the loneliest still waters, skin and bone
But one must wonder: can we feel sad for this sort of man?
Who burns with a brain that refuses to honor enough to learn?
That's the kind of shit that sinks those ships
