Mermaids Lyrics & Tabs by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
Mermaids
guitar chords lyrics
She was a catch
And 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
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
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
And all the ones who come
And all the ones who go
Down to the sea
I believe in God
I believe in mermaids too
I believe in seventy-two 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 rain
I do driver alertness 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
