And so alive, just to think that you used to be in the sea
And were a pretty swim
I set sail, the year of the fish
Sailors, fishermen, I was running the ship
I looked for bone soup, sea biscuits, salt and rod
I met her on a rock
That rock was covered in moss
I was looking for wandering
I was looking for pride
I was looking for a ring
I was touching her eyes
I found it, teeth and eyes and scales and night and light and bite
It was the Century of the Harbours
Those Seamen, they had to be freed
Why don’tya swim in the ocean, rivers and sea?
Icebergs are cold and flesh is
Walking down the beach with my mermaid, mermaid
Hunting aphrodisiacs, snorting ambergris out at sea
I hold it in my hand, love stone, tiger loin, honey
If this were alive you know it could
Aphrodisiac bite your head off, head off
Warm scales and unwashed matrimony
I love you, you bite my tongue when you feed
And if the tide is really pulled by the moon
I can’t trust you to ever swim alone
Swim!
Sit!
Dance!
Turn!
Shake!
Smile!
Tumble!
I am in love
I am in love
I am in love
I am in love
I am in love
