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
