the stone roses
mersey paradise
River splashes against the rocks And I scale the slope I 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’ll 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? You see it in the sea 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 tin 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 it in the sea 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
