Lyric Mersey Paradise

River splashes against the locks
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 d push her under while she drowns
And couldn t breathe and claw for air
She doesn t care for my despair

Or is it me?
The one that s wrong? (one that s wrong?)
You see in this heat
River cools where I belong
In my Mersey paradise

As I stare an oil can comes
Sailing by and I feel like
Growing fins and falling in
With the bricks the bikes the rusty tins

I 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 (I want to be)
Where the drownings are (drownings are)
You see in this heat
River cool s where I belong
In my Mersey paradise

I want to be (I want to be)
Where the drownings are (drownings are)
You see it in the sea
River cool s where I belong

Oh yeah

I want to be (I want to be)
Where the drownings are (drownings are)
You see it in the sea
River cool s where I belong
In my Mersey paradise
