lyrics

Got to find my old self again
No idea how, don't know when
It's been a long time coming
I'm a long way out
Ooh-wah-ho
Making wagers against the house
On borrowed money from a borrowed spouse
Only one way to win: have zero to lose
Ooh-wah-ho
I'm gonna drive down, down, down
Along the ocean tonight
Touch in the beat of the waves
To the purple moonlight

You can find me any given moment
Head weary and a touch heartbroken
In a white tuxedo, a martini in one hand
Poking out the notes to some Scott Walker --
Or maybe it's Bowie
Or more likely neither --
On a 747 in the piano lounge
As we land....
Steel whale sailing down, down, down
Above the ocean tonight
Touch in the beat of the waves
To the purple moonlight
Steel whale sailing down, down, down
Above the ocean
Whoops!
Time to trade in for another skin
Ooh-wah-ho

Ever the odd-man-out at the party
Chainsmoking, and vaguely sorry
Hey, it's no big thing
I guess it's better to give than receive
Don't know how long I've been standing here
But it's a fine, fine moment to disappear
'Cause I'm a shapeshifter
And you'll never catch me leave
Yeah, I'm a shapeshifter
And you'll never catch me leave
I'm a shapeshifter
And you'll never catch me leave
Well, I'm a shapeshifter
And you'll never....
