She was a catch,
|
We were a match
|
I was the match that would fire up her snatch
|
There was a catch
|
I was no match
|
I was fired from her crutch
|
Now I sit around and watch
|
The mermaids sun themselves out on the rocks
|
They are beyond our touch
|
I watch and watch
|
Wave at me
|
They wave at me
|
They wave and slip
|
Back into the sea
|
|
All the ones who come
|
All the ones who go
|
Down to the water
|
All the ones who come
|
All the ones who go
|
Down to the sea
|
|
I believe in God
|
I believe in mermaids too
|
I believe in 72 virgins on a chain (why not, why not)
|
I believe in the rapture
|
For I've seen your face
|
On the floor of the ocean
|
At the bottom of the ray
|
|
I do drive a relentless course
|
I do husband alertness course
|
I do mermaid alertness course
|
Watch them out on the rocks
|
Wave at me
|
Wave at me
|
They wave and slip
|
Back into the sea
|
|
All the ones who come
|
All the ones who go
|
Down to the water
|
All the ones who come
|
And all the ones who go
|
Down to the sea
|
|
For all the ones who come
|
And all the ones who go
|
Down to the water
|
All the ones who come
|
And all the ones who go
|
Down to the sea
|
