lyrics

I jumped into the water
To show that I wasn't afraid
Of eels and otters
Though the seaweed gave me pause
I swam for half an hour
Though the trip was nearly an hour
I sunk down down down
Towards the arms of my true love.

And the creature in the black lagoon
Would rather you call her by her name
It's June
It's the word she heard over and over
The first day that she ever saw true love.

I thought I was a goner
And then a slug crawled into my lungs
And I could breath the water
Though the seaweed made me cough
Her webbed hand grabbed me by the collar
And then we swam for nearly an hour
I saw cans and tires and the beauty of her world

And the creature in the black lagoon
Would rather you call her by her name
It's June
It's the word she heard over and over
The first day that she ever saw true love.

Around their bones the chains were lose
Their hands were clasped
Their ribs were fused
I grabbed a femur and went for the gills
And taught June the first thing all about true love.

And the creature in the black lagoon
Would rather you call her by her name
It's June
The word echos across the water
When I sit alone and dream about true love.
