1983... (A Merman I Should Turn to Be)

Hooray, 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 reborn Away from lands so battered and torn Forever Forever Oh, say can you see, it's really such a mess Every inch of Earth is a fighting nest Giant pencil and lipstick 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 straight ahead Straight up ahead Well, it's too bad, that our friends can't be with us today Well, it's too bad "The machine that we built would never save us" That's what they say That's why they ain't coming with us today And they also said "It's impossible for man to live and breathe underwater forever" Was their main complaint, yeah And they also threw this in my face, they said "Anyway, you know good and 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 Ooh-ooh-ooh So, down and down and down and down And down and down we go Hurry, my darling, we mustn't be late For the show Neptune champion games to an aqua World is so very dear "Right this way," smiles a mermaid I can hear Atlantis full of cheer Atlantis full of cheer I can hear Atlantis full of cheer
