[00:49.45]Walt Grace, desperately hating his whole place,
[00:53.90]Dreamed to discover a new space,
[00:56.90]And buried himself alive,
[01:00.36]Inside his basement, tongue on the side of his face when,
[01:05.85]He's working away on displacement,
[01:08.91]And what it would take to survive.
[01:14.42]Cos when you're done with this world,
[01:20.41]You know the next is up to you.
[01:25.10]And his wife told his kids he was crazy,
[01:30.95]And his friends said he'd fail if he tried,
[01:37.16]But with a will to work hard,
[01:40.10]And a library card,
[01:42.97]He took a homemade, fan-blade, one-man submarine ride.
[02:01.33]That morning, the sea was mad and I mean it,
[02:05.89]Waves as big as he'd seen it,
[02:08.90]Deep in his dreams at home.
[02:13.20]From dry land,
[02:14.90]He rolled it over to wet sand,
[02:17.89]Closed the hatch up with one hand,
[02:20.87]And peddled off alone.
[02:26.57]Cos when you're done with this world,
[02:32.54]You know the next is up to you.
[02:37.19]And for once in his life it was quiet,
[02:43.10]As he learned how to turn in the tide,
[02:49.40]And the sky was a flare,
[02:52.40]When he came up for air,
[02:55.13]In his homemade, fan-blade, one-man submarine ride.
[03:55.23]One evening,
[03:56.91]When weeks had passed since his leaving,
[03:59.89]The call she'd planned on receiving,
[04:02.89]Finally made it home.
[04:06.79]She accepted,
[04:08.84]The news she'd never expected,
[04:11.83]The operator connected,
[04:14.85]A call from Tokyo.
[04:20.41]Cos when you're done with this world,
[04:26.45]You know the next is up to you.
[04:30.97]Now his friends,
[04:32.40]Bring him up when they're drinking,
[04:36.95]At the bar with his name on the side,
[04:42.98]And they smile when they can,
[04:46.40]As they speak of a man,
[04:49.70]Who took a homemade, fan-blade, one-man submarine ride.
