about

Mario: This is a true story. Also I was listening to All Hail West Texas a lot when I wrote it, which is why it sounds like a song from All Hail West Texas.

lyrics

I met a guy at the sauna
He told me that his brother
Saw a woman sitting meditating
At the bottom of the
Pond’s Forge Olympic size pool

In the dip where the pool is deeper
People were swimming above her
She would occasionally surface to
Take a breath
And then return to the bottom of the pool

I wanted to believe him
I’m not sure if I believed him
But whenever I go to swim there I wonder
If it would be possible

The other thing that he said
That I can’t get out of my head
Is that I’d have my mind blown by
What insurance costs
For a building with a diving board
