1983...(A Merman I Should Turn To Be)
The Jimi Hendrix Experience
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 see
its really 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
Well its too bad
That our friends
Cant be with us today
Well thats too bad
The machine That we built
Would never save us
That's what they say
(That's why they aint
coming with us today)
And they also said
It's impossible for man
To live and breath underwater
Forever was
their main complaint (Yeah)
And they also threw
this in my face
They said Anyway
You know good well
It would be beyond
the will of God
And the grade of the King
(Grace of the King yeah yeah)
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
The out of style
out of style
