Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds lyrics : "Mermaids"

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
