In Deep Ocean

June 2023 single from Montreal's Karma Glider (former frontman of the band Heat).

[Verse 1: Dan Bull] Mandalorian, Mandalorian An abandoned stranded orphan Who was found as a foundling, handed all He could have handled, bounties coming out the walls Standing tall, joined the tribe Are you bound to fall upon the point of a knife? If you're bountiful, what's the point living life Without a calling you can rely on? Buy in to the lifestyle of a bountly hunter, neither light nor dark but a pale penumbra Crawling out from under that rock that his Salvador found him under Can't help, but wonder what's under that helmet Come on, if I can't have a look, can you tell me? Mandalorian can perform for Any tough crowd in Carbonite, that's a captive audience Keeping them alive in stacks An actual people filofax Is he smiling behind the mask Or is he keeping his mind on the task? Eyes that'll flash behind the glass ever vigilant Slide side to side and catch a vision That didn't affect the less diligent, jarring The legend, intelligent Din Djarin Deleting dilly-dallying dilettantes who come around here With delusions of grandeur Like an off-brand Brando If I'm honest, tell you what though Mando's no Rambo, no Jango, no Django, no Holmes, no Rathbone, no Frodo, Han Solo, no Lando, no landowner, Mando's standing alone When he goes commando, goes hard on the Eau de Vie, Tihaar, no hangover, no action figure, no Hasbro, go Kenner or go home, that's a dad joke [Chorus: Divide Music] Coming up out of the underground where my elders found me They gave me their help, now I give it myself to secure that bounty Accumulate wealth while I'm moving in stealth and I'm doing it well, see You're stepping up onto a Mando, Mando, the Mandalorian Mando, Mando, the Mandalorian Mando, Mando, the Mandalorian Mando, Mando, the Mandalorian [Verse 2: Dan Bull] Same Kriff, different day What is it they say? This is the way No gain without significant pain And no pain without significant pay So if you can pay enough Beskar, then Din's up to take on a Death Star His job satisfaction isn't surveyed, but getting the payment's the best part Except ever since he met that kid His head's been set to protect that kid Sudden paternal urges Overcoming the summoning murderous Words of a certain Werner Herzog Not going to stop and just watch while they hurt him Ain't no trading and negotiating over Baby Yoda taking over every waking moment Too cute, overloading your daily quota 'Til your brain is broken like you're Ray Liotta Aw, what a doting father Breaking the brief's going to grief Greef Karga Better briefly see the armorer And then leave Nevarro for an even father world A motherland, another planet docking underground to have the upper hand, understand it Another mother's son but this man's going to dad it and I stan it Because from experience, loving a kid is As tough as obsidian, nothing's as good as it What, give it in? Let Moff Gideon Win and give him the pleasure of getting all the dividends? Nah, not happening Like Din taking off his mask again Splash, the Empire was a wide ocean, deep too, so keep your eyes open My advice would be to find a visor that is bifocal, both sides are focused Everyone's out for their self in this hellscape, failed state, society broken Quietly hoping for their escape, but they'll be devastated, I have spoken [Chorus: Divide Music] Coming up out of the underground where my elders found me They gave me their help, now I give it myself to secure that bounty Accumulate wealth while I'm moving in stealth and I'm doing it well, see You're stepping up onto a Mando, Mando, the Mandalorian Mando, Mando, the Mandalorian Mando, Mando, the Mandalorian Mando, Mando, the Mandalorian
