The Mermaid Parade

New York this morning, it was 8am LA time

And I could be there by this evening

Said the girl on the airline line

So I bought that ticket, and I got in that cab

But I didn’t make it babe to the airport like that

No I wound up walking out by the ocean today

And there were naked women dancing in the Mermaid Parade

And ah Amanda did you see me today

Watchin’ those women dancing in the Mermaid Parade

And ah Amanda did you see me today

Watchin’ those women waltz by in the Mermaid Parade

Phosphorescent // The Mermaid Parade Lyrics

Now our hearts were on fire only two weeks ago

And our bodies were like live wires down on the beach in Mexico

But I came back to this city and you stayed home in LA

And then our two years of marriage

In two short weeks somehow just slipped away

And I know all about your new man

Your new older, old man and I heard that he’s married

Ah you be careful Amanda

And yeah I found a new friend too

And yeah she’s pretty and small

But god damn it Amanda, oh god damn it all

I went out walkin’ out by the ocean today

And there were naked women dancing

In the Mermaid Parade

And ah Amanda did you see me today

Watchin’ those women dancing in the Mermaid Parade

And ah Amanda were you with me today

Watchin’ those women waltz by in the Mermaid Parade

And ah Amanda were you with me today

Watchin’ those women waltz by In the Mermaid Parade
