| 作曲 : Hedges | |
| Shell Shock Venus, aborted at sea | |
| Her youthful uniform torn open and free | |
| Floating where the whirlpools swirl | |
| Men came diving for her pearl | |
| They'd scour her surfaces | |
| She'd dredge up their deep | |
| In a chaotic universe, shallow and sweet | |
| And as the merman hurled | |
| Woman went careening from the girl | |
| And no line of questioning | |
| Could penetrate her nerve | |
| But something was tapping her reserve | |
| Ashes of innocence, splinters of dreams | |
| Her anger in residence, ripping the seams | |
| And petrifying fast | |
| She anchored to that mast | |
| Through waves of ecstasy | |
| They'd compromise | |
| But something was vacant in her eyes | |
| Reptiles in water, a goddess in heat | |
| We dreamt of a daughter, Venus and me | |
| Floating where the whirlpools swirl | |
| Men came diving for her pearl |
