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
