[VERSE 1]
Under the deck lights, the line is a current
The fish is a signal, slow-blooming, bright
He leads it around like a pet on a leash
A memory of motion in the neon night

[CHORUS]
Slow lander, slow lander — the city under the water
Remembers every fish that got away
Slow lander, slow lander — the future is a harbor
And the memory is playing all day

[VERSE 2]
He's reaching for his gaff, and it's only a pink
The smallest light in the deepest blue
We are all watching, we are all waiting
For the man who moves the way the tide moves through

[CHORUS]
Slow lander, slow lander — the city under the water
Remembers every fish that got away
Slow lander, slow lander — the future is a harbor
And the memory is playing all day

[BRIDGE]
Other fish in the sea — a whole city of light
Too bad for me, but for him it's right
The fish that got away is the one that glows
In the neon memory where the future goes

[OUTRO]
Slow lander. Fish on. Bring it in.
