Mersey Paradise

River splashes against the rocks
 And I scale the slope and hope the tracks won't
 Lead me down to dark, black pits
 Or places where we fall to bits
 If she were there, I'd hold her down
 I'll push her under while she drowns
 And couldn't breathe and call for air
 She doesn't care for my despair
 Or is it me?
 Oh, the one that's wrong?
 You see it in the sea
 River cools where I belong
 In my Mersey paradise
 ♪
 As I stare, an oil wheel comes
 Sailing by and I feel like
 Growing fins and falling in
 With the bricks, the bikes, the rusty tin
 I'll swim along without a care
 I'm eating sand when I need air
 You can bet your life I'll meet a pike
 Who'll wolf me down for tea tonight
 I want to be
 Where the drownings are
 You see it in the sea
 River cools where I belong
 In my Mersey paradise
 ♪
 I want to be
 Where the drownings are
 You see it in the sea
 River cools where I belong
 Oh yeah
 I want to be
 Where the drownings are
 You see it in the sea
 River cools where I belong
 In my Mersey paradise
