lyrics

mermaid

three years, no dance
three thousand tears per romance
all talking was a pity
now she's stalking through the city

with three beer, half a bottle of gin
27 letters in the waste bin
he bought 15 bullets
12 he shot on a bottle
three killed the boy within

polished chains
pale blood in his veins
they unmasked his saints
they changed his paint
once he was familiar to me
once this guy in the mirror was me

on the bottom of a well
one hour is one day
thoughts just fight forget how to play
words echo in the well
sharp like a bell
i tell you the years
leave a salty melody in your ear

but then you come along
pump fresh air into my lung
cheer up my song
wash the dust off my rainbow
repair the tubes for the dream flow
let's laugh about our sorrow

please bite into my arm
i wanna feel if you're real
release your breaks
i grab the wheel
you gave me boots
and they're fast
they take me out of the past
they show me a place to rest
