This is the official video for Mermaids - it was released as a single on May 20th 2013 as a download package including studio version, a live version recorded in Berlin and two non-album tracks Needle Boy & Lightning Bolts.


This is for all the mermaids




She was a catch,
We were a match
I was the match
That would fire up her snatch
But here was a catch
I was no match
I was fired from her crotch
Now I sit around and watch
The mermaids sun themselves
Out on the rocks
They are beyond our touch

I watch and watch
Them wave at me
They wave at me
They wave and slip
Back into the sea

And all the ones who'll come
And all the ones who'll go
Down to the water
And all the ones who'll come
And all the ones who'll go
Down to the sea

I believe in God
I believe in mermaids too
I believe in seventy-two virgins on a chain (why not, why not)
I believe in the rapture
For I've seen your face
On the floor of the ocean
At the bottom of the rain

I do driver alertness course
I do husband alertness course
I do mermaid alertness course
I watch them on the rocks
They wave at me
They wave at me
They wave and slip
Back into the sea

And all the ones who'll come
And all the ones who'll go
Down to the water
And all the ones who'll come
And all the ones who'll go
Down to the sea

And all the ones who'll come
And all the ones who'll go
Down to the water
And all the ones who'll come
And all the ones who'll go
Down to the sea
