No Mermaid Lyrics

No Mermaid lyrics

we went down to the edge of the water 

you were afraid to go in 

you
said there might be sharks out there in the ocean 

and i said i'm only
going for a swim 



i was swimming around in a circle 

i
wasn't always in view 

you said we might get into red flag danger 

and i am alone when i'm not with you 



but i am no mermaid 

i am no mermaid 

and i am no fisherman's slave 

i am no mermaid


i am no mermaid 

i keep my head above the waves 



we
were swinging from the centre of the ceiling 

you were afraid to give in


i said i know i'll always live for this feeling 

and you closed
your eyes you said never again 



we were dancing in the middle of
the desert 

you said we'll burn under the hot sun 

i said i'd
rather be the colour of pleasure 

than watch like you from under the
thumb 



but i am no mermaid 

i am no mermaid 

and i am
no fisherman's slave 

i am no mermaid 

i am no mermaid 

i
keep my head above the waves 



we went down to the edge of the
water 

you were afraid to go in 

you said there might be sharks out
there in the ocean 

and i said i'm only going for a swim 



i
was living around in a circle 

i wasn't always in view 

you said we
might get into red flag danger 

and i am alone when i'm not with you 



but i am no mermaid 

i am no mermaid 

and i am no
fisherman's slave 

i am no mermaid 

i am no mermaid 

i keep
my head above the waves
