Walt Grace`s Submarine Test, January 1967 - John Mayer
Walt Grace desperately
hating this whole place
Dreamed to discover a new space
and buried himself alive
Inside his basement
Tongue on the side
of his face meant
He's working away on displacement
And what it would take to survive
Cause when you're done
with this world
You know the next is up to you
And his wife told his kids
he was crazy
And his friends said
he'd fail if he tried
But with the will to work hard
and a library card
He took a homemade fan blade
one man submarine ride

That morning the
sea was mad and I mean it
Waves as big as he'd seen it
deep in his dreams at home
From dry land
he rolled it over to wet sand
Closed the hatch up with one hand
And pedaled off alone
Cause when you're done
with this world
You know the next is up to you
And for once in his life
it was quiet
As he learned
how to turn in the tide
And the sky was aflare
when he came up for air
In his homemade fan blade
one man submarine ride

One evening
when weeks had passed
since his leaving
The call she planned on
receiving finally made it home
She accepted the news
she never expected
The operator connected
the call from Tokyo
Cause when you're done
with this world
You know the next is up to you
Now his friends bring him up
when they're drinking
At the bar with
his name on the side
And they smile when they kid
as they speak of the man
Who took a homemade fan blade
one man submarine ride
