Mermaid Tears Songtext
von Alaska Reid

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

Count the flies up high on the ceiling
You and I are trying to hold onto this stupid feeling

And I said, "Baby
"Aren't 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

Count the years that we′ve been dealing
You and I are just junkies for this stupid feeling

And I said, "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
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
Never look back, I never look back (I never)
