Mermaids (Live from KCRW) - Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds

She was a catch we were a match

I was the match that would fire up her snatch

There was a catch I was no match

I was fired from her crotch

Now I sit around and watch

The mermaids sun themselves out on the rocks

They are beyond our touch I watch and watch

Wave at me they wave at me

They wave and slip back into the sea

All the ones who come

All the ones who go

Down to the water

And all the ones who come

And all the ones who go

Down to the sea

I do driver alertness course

I do husband alertness course

I do mermaid alertness course

Watch them out on the rocks

Wave at me

Wave at me

They wave and slip

Back into the sea

All the ones who come

All the ones who go

Down to the water

All the ones who come

And all the ones who go

Down to the sea
