we went down to the edge of the water
|
you were afraid to go in
|
you said there might be sharks out there in the ocean
|
and i said i'm only going for a swim
|
|
i was swimming around in a circle
|
i wasn't always in view
|
you said we might get into red flag danger
|
and i am alone when i'm not with you
|
|
but i am no mermaid
|
i am no mermaid
|
and i am no fisherman's slave
|
i am no mermaid
|
i am no mermaid
|
i keep my head above the waves
|
|
we were swinging from the centre of the ceiling
|
you were afraid to give in
|
i said i know i'll always live for this feeling
|
and you closed your eyes you said never again
|
|
we were dancing in the middle of the desert
|
you said we'll burn under the hot sun
|
i said i'd rather be the colour of pleasure
|
than watch like you from under the thumb
|
|
but i am no mermaid
|
i am no mermaid
|
and i am no fisherman's slave
|
i am no mermaid
|
i am no mermaid
|
i keep my head above the waves
|
|
we went down to the edge of the water
|
you were afraid to go in
|
you said there might be sharks out there in the ocean
|
and i said i'm only going for a swim
|
|
i was living around in a circle
|
i wasn't always in view
|
you said we might get into red flag danger
|
and i am alone when i'm not with you
|
|
but i am no mermaid
|
i am no mermaid
|
and i am no fisherman's slave
|
i am no mermaid
|
i am no mermaid
|
i keep my head above the waves
