Been living underwater but I sure dug the sea   But no-one could hear me out when I leant back to scream      Coming through the shelves to live in the dirt   To keep from the sun, to keep from getting hurt   Gettin' gone      You got a lot to learn   Ahh got a lot to learn from getting   Gone gone gone      Been feeding on contributions from the folks on the bridge   Throw the scraps on out when they need a trip      So I flap my tail and give a high-pitched squeak   Just so they could leave me in between the rocks to sleep   Gettin' gone      I wasted so much time that I   Oh wouldn't swap the line of getting   Gone gone gone   You got a lot to learn   Ahh got a lot to learn from getting   Gone gone gone      I don't know where the sadness starts   'Coz I'm so happy I could die   Just give me long enough to live   Yeah an' it's only when I fly      I wasted so much time that I   Oh wouldn't swap the line of getting   Gone gone gone   You got a lot to learn   Ahh got a lot to learn from getting   Gone gone gone
