lyrics

I was a moth
eating through fabrics
crawling through attics
drifting through traffic

I was a squid
swimming through darkness
Rubber and heartless
Shallow and harmless

But what were you before
What were you before
The tidal waves came
And washed down our houses

I was a mail box
Swallowing postcards
Sending my regards
To Hollywood stars

I was a phone call
Always on standby
No one would reply
Just sever the phone lines

But what were you before
What were you before
The tidal waves came
And washed down our houses
