1983... (A Merman I Should Turn To Be) |
| Hurrah i awake from yesterday |
| alive but the war is here to stay |
| so my love catherina and me |
| decide to take our last walk |
| through the noise to the sea |
| not to die but to be re-born |
| away from a life so battered and torn… |
| forever… |
| oh say can you see its really such a mess |
| every inch of earth is a fighting nest |
| giant pencil and lip-stick tube shaped things |
| continue to rain and cause screaming pain |
| and the arctic stains |
| from silver blue to bloody red |
| as our feet find the sand |
| and the sea is strait ahead. |
| strait ahead… |
| well its too bad |
| that our friends |
| cant be with us today |
| well thats too bad |
| «the machine |
| that we built |
| would never save us» |
| thats what they say |
| (thats why they aint coming with us today) |
| and they also said |
| «its impossible for man |
| to live and breath underwater. |
| forever"was their main complaint |
| (yeah) |
| and they also threw this in my face: |
| they said |
| anyway |
| you know good well |
| it would be beyond the will of God |
| and the grace of the King |
| (grace of the King yeah yeah) |
| so my darling and I |
| make love in the sand |
| to salute the last moment |
| ever on dry land |
| our machine has done its work |
| played its part well |
| without a scratch on our bodies |
| and we bid it farewell |
| starfish and giant foams |
| greet us with a smile |
| before our heads go under |
| we take a last look |
| at the killing noise |
| of the out of style… |
| the out of style, out of style |
