Inspired by The Jungle Book, relationships, and parallel universes – “Mermaids” is the first track co-written with The Spectre, in Paris, in 2019 and which was picked up by BBC Introducing as part of its radio showcase.
I didn’t even ask your name
I knew you from the start
You slipped out into the rain
and left me here to rust
I’m there but you can’t see me you can only feel
The tender pain I give is what you long for real
I ride the wind just like a sober lullaby
Come and taste my scent I’m by your side
Everytime you turn your head
I’ll be…
I’ll be there
I’m right there everytime you wanna go your
way
Say it three times in the mirror, man you know
my name
It’s dark in the street, and the roads, that’s why I
came
Don’t wanna talk to shadows better say your
prayers
Say your prayers
Nightmare, headrush, turned up, came here to
do that dirt
Every time I go out, creep, me lurking, believe me I leave ’em all in pain, that eugh
Do that dirt, imma get hurt kickin up dust, or
worse, on my brand new shirt
All them dames, look strange, so I tell em my
name, but i ain’t nothing but a flirt
You thought that I would fade far away
You didn’t have the part
Sliding as a purple flame
Burning holes in that heart
I’ll be there
I’ll be there
