Up in mystery sea we begin the ride
An evolutionary journey taking us to the coastline
From a humble leaf we start to show some teeth
A fascination with the surface and what lies beneath
How many sunsets 'til we get where we wanna get?
At the moment I’m nocturnal oooh I travel at night
Until I get my yellow stripes
Baby, I’m sticking with my family It’s safer in a crowded bunch
Don’t wanna be nobody’s lunch
Are we moving up stream today?
To the ocean to hibernate
Th eel, the fish and the submarine
Form a lin against technology
1000 leagues in the lukewarm seas
To replicate and disintegrate oooh
Catch a lift on the tidal drift
Fresh river take us in and start again
By Day I’m a glass eel by night I’m an elver
My slender little frame gains a pound that’s my culture
We are young and we swim against gravity
From way up here we get a better view of the sea
