Way Down Deep (You're Shallow)

Music & Lyrics: John Forster

Way down deep you're shallow,
Superficial to the core.
Beneath your surface
There's just more surface.
And beneath that--even more.
You've never had a deep thought
And I hope you never do.
You're all I need.
You're just my speed.
I'm even shallower than you.

You're not an iceberg--just a tip.
So you can't rip
The bottom off my ship.
I feel so safe when you are nearby
Because I know there's less
To you than meets the eye.

And though you're oh so shallow,
Truly dumb and kind of glazed,
Compared to me,
You're like some Ph. D.
I'm so shallow that I'm slightly raised,
Slightly raised.

[Instrumental break] ( The deeper you go, the less you will find.)

Way down deep we're shallow,
Hollow as an old guitar.
And considering that we're so empty,
It's amazing how full of it we are.

At heart, we're both so heartless,
Yet we've pledged our hearts forever more.
And we're sincere
Right down to our veneer.
Deep down we're shallow to the core.
Deep down we're shallow to the core.

(This pool has no deep end, no lifeguard is needed.
The island is lovely, but nobody lives there.)
