regina spektor – mermaid lyrics

Loading...

i am a mermaid
but i’ve sold my voice
for a pair of feet
that tend to bleed
when i go walking in the road

i am a mermaid
but i’ve sold my voice
for a couple of feet
and they always bleed
when i go walking in these streets

and i once saw a most beautiful man at the local record store
he b-mped into me and said, well excuse me, young ma’am, but haven’t i seen your pretty eyes somewhere before?
i smiled, but gestured at my throat
to show that i was mute
well, he quickly looked down at the floor
and shuffled in his boots
aw, he was out of there so fast

i am a mermaid
but i’ve sold my voice
for a midnight train
and a b-mp of cocaine
and an old photo of ballets russes

i am a mermaid
but i have sold my voice
for a bottle of gin
’cause i can’t swim
and i sure don’t want to float

oh, i was so lonely walking out of that store
and back into the busy people street
when i overhead, i heard an argument
a woman opened up her window, threw a flower pot from it
i was startled by the crash
but went over to find the little plant
i quickly emptied it out my paper coffee cup and
adopted it
transplanted it
took it home and
named it mozart

i am a mermaid
but i’ve sold my voice
and i got rid of my tail
at a junkyard sale
along with some favorite childhood toys

i am a mermaid
but i have sold my voice
for a couple of feet
that tend to bleed
when i go walking in the street

i am a mermaid
but i have sold my voice
for a couple of feet
that tend to bleed
when i go walking in the street

i am a mermaid
but i have sold my voice
for a couple of feet
and they always bleed
no matter how i clean
for a couple of feet
and they always bleed
no matter how i clean
for a couple of feet
that tend to bleed
when i go wa-wa-walking
in the
street
