maya hawke - mermaid bar lyrics

[verse 1]
there was no moon black sky on the night
i jumped from the bridge toward the river
i swear, i saw silver star light
on the water’s surface, a shimmer
pounded the pulse, i couldn’t finish
didn’t hear a splash or feel the cold
was full of bubbles for a minute

[chorus]
turned to ice, then cycloid scales of gold
oh+oh+oh+oh+oh, no
turned to ice, then cycloid scales of gold
oh+oh+oh+oh+oh, no
[verse 2]
my lungs deflated, my fingers weaved
rips separated for gills to breathe
ran my tongue over my sharp, new t++th
panicked, swimming, collapsed in the reeds
taken with the current to the sea
tide disrupting desperate dreams
my belly empty, body weak

[chorus]
i had no sound, no way to speak
oh+oh+oh+oh+oh, no
i had no sound, no way to speak
oh+oh+oh+oh+oh, no

[verse 3]
i was close to quiet death again
when new instincts woke me from the spell
i k!lled a diamondback terrapin
was most scared of my awful self
i woke up on cold stones, broken glass
winter beach at long island’s end
i found that i could still maneuver

[chorus]
slip slide on the sand and the cement
oh+oh+oh+oh+oh, no
slip slide on the sand and the cement
oh+oh+oh+oh+oh, no
you might also like
[verse 4]
i opened sardine dream mermaid bar
we served most oysters and caviar
leave your seash+lls in our tall tip jar
they’re more like me, i swear, there are
come for scallops, come to hear our song
come if you’re in awful, bad trouble
come if you’re certain you don’t belong

[outro]
some that fall, don’t land in bubbles
’cause some that fall, don’t land in bubbles (in bubbles, bubbles)
some that fall, don’t land in bubbles
oh+oh+oh+oh+oh, no
some that fall, don’t land in bubbles (bubbles, bubbles)
some that fall, don’t land in bubbles
