Mermaids and Slaves
Baby lets drink and driveBaby lets drink and drive,Drink till the conversation turns pinkand drive to the other sideBaby lets look and learnBaby lets look and learnLook till a certain feeling takes holdand learn when the ready(?) is burnedLet's fool and coerce, the singer of verse, died of insufferable painLet's fuel the dream every Buckley or Dean was genius, misjudged or insaneLet's drive over cliff that maybe a riff Maybe a rift as cursed as the whole of our daysLets put out to sea poor you and poor me, poor you and poor me on the rocks that crush mermaids and slavesBaby lets duck and diveBaby lets duck and diveI duck till a major change in our luckand dive if we wanna surviveBaby lets hit and runBaby lets hit and runHit till you see the split of their lipSongtexteAnd run like the wind to the sunLet's wrap up that notion that selling is potion, that greed is a good way to die Take tragic mistake and crash into lake and sell it to folk passing byLet's drive over cliff that maybe a riff That maybe a rift as cursed as the whole of our daysLets put out to sea poor you and poor me, Poor you and poor me on the rocks that crush mermaids and slaves(Instrumental Break)Let's drive over cliff that maybe a riff That maybe a rift as cursed as the whole of our daysLets put out to sea poor you and poor me, Poor you and poor me on the rocks that crush mermaids and slaves Aus Songtexte Mania
