1983...(A Merman I Should Turn to Be) [Demo]

Hurrah I awake from yesterday
Alive but the war is here to stay
So my love Catherina and me
Decide to take our last walk
Through the noise to the sea
Not to die but to be re-born
Away from a life so battered and torn
Forever

Oh say can you really see it's such a mess
Every inch of earth is a fighting nest
Giant pencil and lip-stick tube shaped things
Continue to rain and cause screaming pain
And the arctic stains from silver blue to bloody red
As our feet find the sand and the sea is strait ahead
Strait ahead

It's too bad
That our friends
Can't be with us today
"The machine
That we built
Would never save us" They will say
"It's impossible for man to live and breath underwater
Forever" they complain
Anyway
It would be beyond the will of God
And the grace of the King

So my darling and I Make love in the sand
To salute the last moment Ever on dry land
Our machine has done its work Played its part well
Without a scratch on our bodies And we bid it farewell
Starfish and giant foams greet us with a smile
Before our heads go under we take a last look
At the killing noise of the out of style

So down and down and down and down
And down and down we go
Hurry, my darling, we mustn't be late for the show
Neptune champion games to an aqua world is so very dear
Right this way smiles a mermaid
I can hear Atlantis full of cheer
