Nick Cave - Mermaids

Tekst piosenki:

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 crotch
And I'll sit around and watch
The mermaids hung themselves
Out on the rocks
Out beyond our touch
I watch and watch
And they 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
And 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 Driver Alertness Course
I do Husband Alertness Course
I do Mermaid Alertness Course
I watch them out on the rocks
They 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
