Mermaid mermaid, mermaid mermaid
Mermaid mermaid, it's the calling's calling
I found myself so early by the tension of the sea
My dog walked with me, his leash around my sleeve
She was eating something, the waves were hard to draw
Some ancient perfume permeates the shore
The mermaids rose up from the sea
And presented their smiles across to me
I was beckoned here to drown
Wrapped in hues and fragmentary blues
Nothing moved me till the tide
Trapped inside the fire of open eyes
I've left behind all my precious things
Superficial wives and push-present rings
Pearls overflowed in dreams
Their tails allow the sunlight beams
Mermaid mermaid, mermaid mermaid
Mermaid mermaid, it's the calling's calling
I sank beneath the searchlights through the ocean floor
Luci chased the seahorse they lassoed her by her paws
They played xylophones on a million sailors bones
Like Odysseus, his sirens, pulled me down with heavy stones
Salt water scarred my eyes and turned them grey
My hair across the seaweed fell away
I was beckoned here to drown
Wrapped in hues and fragmentary blues
Nothing moved me till the tide
Trapped inside the fire of open eyes
I've left behind all my precious things
Superficial wives and push-present rings
Pearls overflowed in dreams
Their tails allow the sunlight beams
I was beckoned here to drown
Wrapped in hues and fragmentary blues
Nothing moved me till the tide
Trapped inside the fire of open eyes
I've left behind all my precious things
Superficial wives and push-present rings
Pearls overflowed in dreams
Their tails allow the sunlight beams
