Lyrics
I walked into a smoky bar
I entered a dimly lit bar.
And I sat down next to you
I took a seat beside you.
You were working the table
You were attending to customers at a table.
So drunk I saw two
I was intoxicated to the extent of perceiving double.
You fell down into my lap
You fell onto my lap.
I breathed you in
I deeply inhaled your presence.
You smiled and said
You smiled and assured me that you could fulfill my dreams.
I'll make your dreams come true
I was such a foolish sailor
Suffering from the harsh conditions of the sea.
So sick from the rough seas
You, resembling a beautiful mermaid, appeared on the shore.
You were such a pretty mermaid
I fell in love with you in that moment.
That washed up on the beach
There was a captivating quality in your eyes.
I fell in love with you there
There was something in your eye
We departed in a luxurious car to a party in the hills.
Left in a limousine to a party
We drank until the following day, continuing until sunrise.
In the hills
She revealed her name during this time.
Mirrored tables
Piles of white, fifty dollar bills
As the sun rose, she departed.
We drank through the next day until the sun rose
She said that's what her name was
I, again, was a naive sailor.
And when the sun rose
Still affected by the rough seas.
That's when she goes
I was such a foolish sailor
-So sick from the rough seas
I fell in love with a fantasy.
You were such a pretty mermaid
I struggle to distinguish between fantasy and deception.
That washed up on the beach
I fell in love with you there
-There was something in your eye
-I fell in love with a fantasy
-I can't tell the difference
-Between fantasy and lies
