I so long to be a mermaid
true blue as sky and sea
for when I am cruelly betrayed
I'll be as cold as a fish can be.
And sailors will tell stories
of when I sang my siren song
they lost their wits and jumped to be
fish food for my killing spree.
And artists will paint my portrait
murals grand on beach house walls
and in the night, I'll come to see
my likeness if I have to crawl.
So now you know my last fond wish
is to be a cunning and beautiful fish.
