Mermaid Tears (Midnight)
I
I worked as a mermaid
The only man I tried to save dragged me down
Make those tips
Keep those dreams
But I'm still gonna drown on the ugly side of town, oh
Count the flies, up high on the ceiling
You and I are trying to hold on to this stupid feeling
And I said, "Baby
Are you gonna play me?"
Maybe
Time is gonna save me
Maybe
Time is gonna save me
He
He had a sad streak
As wide as the gap between his two front teeth
And I
Well I never knew why
When I kept on swimming he just made me cry, oh
Count the years that we've been dealing
You and I are just junkies for this stupid feeling
Baby
Aren't you gonna play me?
Maybe
Time is gonna save me
Maybe
Time is gonna save me
Maybe
Time is gonna save me
Oh, maybe
Time is gonna save me
Never look back, I never look back
Never look back, I never look back
Never look back, I never look back, I never look back
Never look back, I never look back, I never look back
I worked as a mermaid
The only man I tried to save dragged me down
Make those tips
Keep those dreams
But I'm still gonna drown on the ugly side of town, oh
Count the flies, up high on the ceiling
You and I are trying to hold on to this stupid feeling
And I said, "Baby
Are you gonna play me?"
Maybe
Time is gonna save me
Maybe
Time is gonna save me
He
He had a sad streak
As wide as the gap between his two front teeth
And I
Well I never knew why
When I kept on swimming he just made me cry, oh
Count the years that we've been dealing
You and I are just junkies for this stupid feeling
Baby
Aren't you gonna play me?
Maybe
Time is gonna save me
Maybe
Time is gonna save me
Maybe
Time is gonna save me
Oh, maybe
Time is gonna save me
Never look back, I never look back
Never look back, I never look back
Never look back, I never look back, I never look back
Never look back, I never look back, I never look back
