The Mermaid Lyrics

I bless the day that your were born
The stars came out and the heavens were torn
Apart to make way for your ragged little soul
Unlike many other things you had a purpose and a goal
This café is my island and this city is my sea
You will be my mermaid and the castaway that's me

Magic is my sugar I can put it in your tea
O know that sounds insane but that's what she said to me
Oh I could make a hymnbook out of all the things she does
From looking like a movie-star to reading on the bus
This café is my island and this city is my sea
You will be my mermaid and the castaway that's me

I would like to be a cynic but without you I'd be dead
I would set myself on fire just to light your cigarette
And if you want to hold my hand every day and night
I would gladly chop it off you can keep it if you like
This café is my island and this city is my sea
You will be my mermaid and the castaway that's me
This café is my island and this city is my sea
You will be my mermaid and the castaway that's me

Hey! Hey! Mama call a doctor
Hey! Hey! I think I'm going insane
