Get a load of "1983 ( A Merman I Should Turn To Be)" by Jimi Hendrix

 



Hooray, I awake from yesterday

Alive, but the war is here to staySo, my love Catherina and meDecide to take our last walk through the noise to the seaNot to die, but to be rebornAway from lands so battered and torn
ForeverForever
Oh, say can you see, it's really such a messEvery inch of Earth is a fighting nestGiant pencil and lipstick tube-shaped thingsContinue to rain and cause screaming painAnd the Arctic stains from silver blue to bloody redAs our feet find the sand and the sea
Is straight aheadStraight up ahead
Well, it's too bad, that our friends can't be with us todayWell, it's too bad"The machine that we built would never save us"That's what they sayThat's why they ain't coming with us today
And they also said"It's impossible for man to live and breathe underwater forever"Was their main complaint, yeahAnd they also threw this in my face, they said"Anyway, you know good and wellIt would be beyond the will of GodAnd the grace of the King"Grace of the King, yeah-yeah
So, my darling and I make love in the sandTo salute the last moment ever on dry landOur machine has done its work, played its part wellWithout a scratch on our bodies and we bid it farewell
Starfish and giant foams greet us with a smileBefore our heads go under, we take a last look at the killing noiseOf the out-of-styleThe out-of-style, out-of-styleOoh-ooh-ooh
So, down and down and down and downAnd down and down we goHurry, my darling, we mustn't be lateFor the show
Neptune champion games to an aquaWorld is so very dear"Right this way, " smiles a mermaidI can hear Atlantis full of cheer
Atlantis full of cheerI can hear Atlantis full of cheer -- Jimi Hendrix

You see, ladies, IN EVERY GENERATION THERE ARE SOME OF THEM.WHO GET IT.
