I once was caught but now I'm free
my gills are soft but so slippery
I couldnt be taken, no I couldn't be held,
'cause that boat was a prison
that net was a cell
So I ripped that hook right outta' my mouth
it hurt like a bitch but it had to get out
I'll leave your line with a just piece of my lip
you see, the waters my home
I'm jumping ship
Im swimming as far, as deep, as I can
and I wont stop diving till I hit the sand
where your lines wont get me any more
they don't sink this deep to the ocean floor
and thats as far away as I can get
'cause I know your so afraid of getting wet
and theres 3 x 10ēš gallons of seawater between us, honey
I'm a slippery salmon
now im swimming stronger
you want a fish on your plate - call the fish monger
I won't eat your lures any longer
I'm gonna' reach the bottom
I'm gonna' keep on diving
