The S-Bends - Isobue (Bonus Track) Lyrics

I remember the harsh shock of the ice cold water
The panic when my eyes gripped shut from the sting
I'd be left blind and naked clutching at the seabed
Then rocket to the surface with hands full of nothing

How do you hold your breath so long?
Well I don't
Then what's the secret
Just don't breathe in

When my pruned fingers first seized a pearl
I knew who I was and was to be
These days the girls don't get that satisfaction
It seems that pearls are the new abalone

With their glistening white wet suits
And their high-tech cheats
Mikomoto changed the game
But he can't change me

Isobue
I am Ama
Isobue
Who are you
Isobue
I am Ama

Grey tobacco clouds emanate from the charming boys
Perving from where tall grass meets the sand
I'll give them something to look at I think to myself
As I strip down to my withered skin and run for the ocean

The white girls laugh and the perverts gag
I'll show them how it's done
I could live here at the bottom
If I just don't breathe in

Isobue
I am Ama
Isobue
Who are you
Isobue
I am Ama
