Trains sound like whales when they wake me up
Thunder sounds like atom bombs blowing up
Sleep on the floor but I don't mind much
Hips growing sore but I don't mind much
No need to look for reasons to be sad
They are here and there
Here and there
There, there.
Now I cannot tell you your life is fair
From your bloody birth your rights are bare
Barely there and fairly rare
But listen to the whales as they passer by
The starfish illuminate a navy sky
Awake on the wake of a fallen star
Awake on the wake of a tidal wave
Of a comet tale
Of a great blue whale
And the world is always ending here and there
The world is always ending here and there
Here and there
There, there.
But I am a mermaid I don't much care
Combing my hair in my seashell lair
In my underwear
In a deep despair
But listen to the whales as they passer by
The starfish illuminate a navy sky
Awake on the wake of a fallen star
Awake on the wake of a tidal wave
Of a comet tale
Of a great blue whale
And everything looks pretty here and there
Everything looks pretty here and there
Here and there
There there
There there
There there.
