[Verse 1]
Somewhere at the bottom of the ocean
I am floating past the algae
The whale bones, so pretty
But my body still didn't make the grade
Still didn't make the grade

[Verse 2]
Somewhere in the basement
I once had a good idea but I can't find it
My mind is drawin' blanks to fill the page
But I still won't make the grade
Still won't make the grade

[Chorus]
I'm regainin' patience
In the better half of man
And the stories we'll remember
Are from a different hand

[Verse 3]
Somewhere at the bottom of my brain
I just don't care and I don't want to
But I do, anyway, anyway
I still won't make the grade
Still won't make the grade
[Chorus]
I'm regainin' patience
In the better half of man
And the stories we'll remember
Are from a different hand

[Verse 1]
Somewhere at the bottom of the ocean
I am floating past the algae
The whale bones, so pretty
My body still won't make the grade
Still won't make the grade
Still won't make the grade
Still won't make the grade
Still won't make the grade
