And you, you can stand next to but you never stand by.   And you choose who we'll be friends to and expect me by your side.   Then I smile at those you don't want me to and I'll fight you if I like.   I won't laugh if I don't want to and I don't have to tell you why.      I, I hear the sound of what's getting you down   It's the same sound as when a mermaid drowns   And I hear the sound,   I can hear it.      There's nothing like tea after a wing ding to make you feel alive.   I've seen all of you that I want to, big part of my life.   Now I want to smile a while and I want to see a lion   And I want to wait a while, then I want to see it all it all.      And then I hear the sound of an autocratic church,   Of a different God crash down, I can hear the sound   It's when a mermaid drowns   And I heal her.      And I want to smile a while and I want to see a lion   And I want to wait a while and I want to see it all.   Like tea after a wing ding to make you feel alive.   And I've seen all that I want of you, big part of my life.      And I, and I hear the sound of what's getting you down,   It's the same sound as when mermaids drown.   I hear the sound of an autocratic church,   Of a different God crash down, I hear the sound.   Of a different calling, oh I hear the sound of mermaids drown.
