Mermaids - Live from KCRW
[Verse 1]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
They wave at me
They wave at me
They  wave and slip
Back into the sea

[Chorus]
And all the ones who come
And 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
[Verse 2]
I do driver alertness course
I do husband alertness course
I do mermaid alertness course
Watch them out on the rocks

[Pre-Chorus]
They wave at me
They wave at me
They wave and slip
Back into the sea

[Chorus]
And all the ones who come
And 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
And all the ones who come
And 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
