Mermaids Lyrics
Does it feel like religion?
Does it crush your old ideas?
Well, fold me in paper, I've got some here
And show me the warrant, to which I will attest
Put me in handcuffs, I'll give it a rest
The light through the windows
Casts doubt on the mermaids
And they sing at the bottom of the sea
You've run out of business
In light of what you want
You've come wielding plastic
And gone straight to the front
You've re-jigged and counted
It's a mountain not too much
I'll give you my credence if that's not enough
The light through the windows
Casts down on the mermaids
And they sink to the bottom of the sea
You're reading the letters that no-one ever wrote
I'm moving through something, I travel in hope
So read me the warrant, to which I will attest
Put me in handcuffs, I'll give it a rest
The light through the windows
Casts down on the mermaids
Does it crush your old ideas?
Well, fold me in paper, I've got some here
And show me the warrant, to which I will attest
Put me in handcuffs, I'll give it a rest
Casts doubt on the mermaids
And they sing at the bottom of the sea
In light of what you want
You've come wielding plastic
And gone straight to the front
You've re-jigged and counted
It's a mountain not too much
I'll give you my credence if that's not enough
Casts down on the mermaids
And they sink to the bottom of the sea
I'm moving through something, I travel in hope
So read me the warrant, to which I will attest
Put me in handcuffs, I'll give it a rest
Casts down on the mermaids

No comments? Well, I find this song to be great. The chorus is very... moody? heh.
This is a beautiful song, but the lyrics read like they came out of one of those random-word fake poetry generators.
