Lyrics

Well I might as well tell you
your Hunley story
First sub to punch holes in a prow
The Housotonic
All the souls stuck on it
One hit wonder we followed her down

One day we’ll sleep
In a deep submarine
The Hunley
Time will fly by
In a saltwater sky
The Hunley

Found our bones a good home
But a ghost likes to roam
Maybe in a museum you’ll see ‘um
And if you pay to see
But whitewash slavery
Sleep walk in this naughtical dream

One day we’ll sleep
In a deep submarine
The Hunley
Time will fly by
In a saltwater sky
The Hunley

Sinkin’ in subs
Though the livin’ is tough
The drownin’ is easy as drinkin’
Dredge up the past
See her body’s intact
Like Jesus the Hunley is risen

One day we’ll wake
To an enlightened age
Everyone lovely and free
This stone will pass
Blood of lions and lambs
Posthumously washing us clean
Don’t you wanna go down?
Don’t you wanna go down?

One day we’ll sleep
In a deep submarine The Hunley
Time will fly by
In a saltwater sky
The Hunley

One day we’ll sleep
In American dreams
Time will fly by
In a saltwater sky
Don’t you wanna go down?
