1983...(A Merman I Should Turn to Be) [Demo]

Do-do-do-do-do
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

Hooray, I awake from yesterday
Alive, but the war is here to stay
So, my love, Catharina 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

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 ahead

It's too bad, that our friends can't be with us today
"The machine that we built would never save us", they will say
"It's impossible for man to live and breathe underwater forever", they complain
"Anyway, it would be beyond the will of God and the grace of the King"

So my darling, make love in the sand
To salute the last moment ever on dry land
Our machine, it 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
The killing noise of the out-of-style

So, down and down, and down, and down and
Down and down we go
Hurry, my darling, we must not be late for the show
Neptune champion games to an aqua world is so dear
"Right this way", smiles a mermaid
I can hear Atlantis full of cheer-er

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh

Do-do-do-do-do
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
