Thresher |
| On a clear April day, 1963 |
| I took a memorable ride |
| On a silver submarine |
| 100+ men |
| John Wesley Harvey and me |
| All aboard the SSN-593 |
| Goin' down |
| Goin' down |
| Goin' down, down, down, down |
| Harvey to base |
| «We're at 1,000 feet» |
| Jimmy’s doin' real good |
| I think he’s getting the hang of this thing |
| Then the rattle of pipes |
| Then the hiss of the steam |
| I was the man of the hour |
| 'Till those alarm bells started to ring |
| Goin' down |
| Goin' down |
| Goin' down, down, down, down |
| Oh, thresher |
| We can’t take no more |
| Slow pirouette into the arms |
| Of the ocean floor |
| Wonder and fear |
| Unending black sea |
| Held everyone’s gaze |
| In a quiet humility |
| Mother ocean we are |
| At the mercy of thee |
| Like children in uniform |
| Balancing on your knee |
