When I was young, I picked some worms, and I went fishing I brought some cigarettes with me that I just bought with spare money Keeping it secret from my mom and dad so they wouldn't find out 'cause otherwise I’m bound to find some breams instead of pikes Sitting whole day, staring at a float I imagined that the fathomless abysses May hide some cancers and some catfishes And some mermaids with their tits And Mit'ka,who drowned here last summer We used to smoke together here What a Bummer, yo, yo, yo Lo, Something just swallowed the bait and tugged the fishing line The tug was as abrupt as drawing curtain in a female bath I hit the bottom and swam to the very depths I swallowed water and hid among the rocks. Where I grew scales, and some fins And down the river, through taiga timber, Through fields, through salty soil I wriggled and reeled through the roil My target's ocean. I am a monster now Leviathan Ship captains call me hellish fiend But that wasn't my choice - to be a puritan or be considered sod When I was a pioneer I always dreamt of finding treasures Like Troy for Schliemann, when the guy read Illiad Now all the underwater treasures are belong to me The riches coveted by emperors And in their greed they fall for bait, into my maw they go straight And all I want's to get a plate of borscht To see my mom and dad around the dining table To lift the skirt of a cute girl on bale of hay To sleep like bear who stole the honey from some bees I dreamt of this Yet one thing I didn't take into account To get back on the shore, I need to find replacement No stingray, moray, neither shark would help here (No) So here I lurk, motionless like a log Waiting for the next batch of anglers
