Mermaids

If we smile someday
I hope the wind will change
Make us stay that way
Catch us stealing paperchains
On milky days
Will this never end, all this walking
My shoes have stopped talking
And they used to be the best of friends

We should be swimming with mermaids
Not praying for rain
In puddles of lace
Watching tumbleweeds tumbling
Feeding ice cream to rattlesnakes
We should be swimming with mermaids
Not praying for rain
In puddles of lace

She's pulling hair again
And standing on kittens' tails
Swears she's not to blame
Scratching screaming, big boys did it
And ran away
Will this never end, all this walking
My shoes have stopped talking
And they used to be the best of friends

We should be swimming with mermaids
Not praying for rain
In puddles of lace
Watching tumbleweeds tumbling
Feeding ice cream to rattlesnakes
We should be swimming with mermaids
Not praying for rain
In puddles of lace

We should be swimming with mermaids
Not praying for rain
In puddles of lace
Watching tumbleweeds tumbling
Feeding ice cream to rattlesnakes
We should be swimming with mermaids
Not praying for rain
In puddles of lace
