Mermaid in a tank
feet propelling her forward
feeding from the ooh\'s and ahh\'s of the crowd
wanting nothing more but to hear
the applause of the crowd.
I am a mermaid
constantly swimming
in patterns that rival diamonds with their splendour
all I need is for you to applaud me
even if I\'m drowning
water fills the mermaids lungs
though the audience never notices
because of the barbie smile
plastered on her face
for eternity
I am a mermaid
constantly smiling
teeth glinting in the light of the sun
in a way that rivals the stars
and all I need is for you to applaud me
even if I\'m drowning
lungs gasp and gargle
As oxygen runs low
I\'m drowning
but your applause feed me
so I will swim for ever and more
because I am a mermaid
and I am loosing everything
to hear you applaud me
one last time.
applaud me while I drown.
applaud me
while I drown.
applaud me
