The Mermaid |
I’ve done everything in my power to file down my claws |
White picket fence, cold showers cheap tricks get cheap applause |
I used to swim out with the mermaid but now I got a schedule to keep |
Yeah I could chase the mermaid but what if I got too deep |
I didn’t come to get hurt |
I came to get clean |
Tried to go it alone |
I got bored with the scene |
What’s a poor boy to do |
But share in the wealth |
I wanna lasso the moon |
Like Bathsheba saying treat yourself |
Ain’t gonna treat you like you |
Ain’t gonna treat you like you |
Ain’t gonna treat you like you treat yourself |
Ain’t gonna treat you like you |
Ain’t gonna treat you like you |
Ain’t gonna treat you like you |
Bathsheba saying |
So let’s kiss your daddy on his mouth and then we’ll total his car |
I wanna go see Erik Bachman play and blowtorch the bar |
I wanna swim out with the mermaid what’s the difference? |
I can’t sleep |
I’m gonna chase the mermaid and let her take me to the deep |
I didn’t come to get hurt |
I came to get clean |
I tried to sing on my own |
I get bored with the scene |
What’s a white boy to do |
Except to share in the guilt? |
I wanna lasso the moon |
Like Bathsheba saying treat yourself |
Ain’t gonna treat you like you |
Ain’t gonna treat you like you |
Ain’t gonna treat you like you treat yourself |
Ain’t gonna treat you like you |
Ain’t gonna treat you like you |
Ain’t gonna treat you like you |
Bathsheba saying |
Let’s not begin at the beginning it’s a boring place to start |
Don’t wanna sing no flannel whiskey songs and try to make them art |
I don’t need Bob Dylan’s blazer don’t need Jeff Tweedy’s hat |
Ain’t after pussy or cash baby I’m trimming the fat |
Ain’t gonna treat you like you |
Ain’t gonna treat you like you |
Ain’t gonna treat you like you, come on |
Ain’t gonna treat you like you |
Ain’t gonna treat you like you |
Ain’t gonna treat you like you |
Bathsheba saying treat yourself |
