SKINDIVING
First released 1993
Tim explained that this track which includes a beautiful falsetto, which Tim joked he needed helium injections to achieve, is about someone sinking deeper and deeper into a mood, being quite scary and quite peaceful at the same time. It was remixed for the Volume CD series released in 1994.

LYRICS
Put your hands inside this dream
Unzip the skin, release the steam
Going down, I'm growing wings
Hope I can fly before I hit the ground
I can hear your thoughts arise
From these depths to creamy skies
Drifting down the water's cool
Let the weeds cover you
The surface storms show nothing here
The surface storms, the water's clear
The water's clear
