There was no moon black sky on the night I jumped from the bridge toward the river I swear, I saw silver star light On the water's surface, a shimmer Pounded the pulse, I couldn't finish Didn't hear a splash or feel the cold Was full of bubbles for a minute Turned to ice, then cycloid scales of gold Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, no Turned to ice, then cycloid scales of gold Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, no My lungs deflated, my fingers weaved Rips separated for gills to breathe Ran my tongue over my sharp, new teeth Panicked, swimming, collapsed in the reeds Taken with the current to the sea Tide disrupting desperate dreams My belly empty, body weak I had no sound, no way to speak Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, no I had no sound, no way to speak Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, no SongtexteI was close to quiet death again When new instincts woke me from the spell I killed a diamondback terrapin Was most scared of my awful self I woke up on cold stones, broken glass Winter beach at Long Island's end I found that I could still maneuver Slip slide on the sand and the cement Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, no Slip slide on the sand and the cement Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, no I opened sardine dream mermaid bar We served most oysters and caviar Leave your seashells in our tall tip jar They're more like me, I swear, there are Come for scallops, come to hear our song Come if you're in awful, bad trouble Come if you're certain you don't belong Some that fall, don't land in bubbles 'Cause some that fall, don't land in bubbles (In bubbles, bubbles) Some that fall, don't land in bubbles Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, no Some that fall, don't land in bubbles (Bubbles, bubbles) Some that fall, don't land in bubbles Aus Songtexte Mania
