He was white and she was white
As only statues are
50 years they stood there looking
Stupid by a jar
One night in mid August when the moonlight got too strong
They climbed off their pedestal and then they sang this song

Past the gun emplacement and the
Bones as white as bleach
Through the rats and ivy til' they
Came out on a beach
Out into the ocean til' they disappeared from view
Honey when it gets you there's just nothing you can do.

[Chorus:]
Underwater moonlight, sets the body free
Underwater moonlight, baby you and me
Underwater moonlight

[chorus]

He was pink and she was pink
And onward they did row
Didn't see the giant squid, though
It was fairly slow
When they hit the bottom they were well and truly dead
The statues took their place, and then they rode back home instead

[Chorus x3]

I can take you down
Through the sea (moonlight)
You can feed the fish (moonlight)
Why don't you feed the fish? (moonlight)
Why don't you feed the fish? (moonlight)

[Chorus x4]
