Mersey Paradise

River splashes against the rocks and I
scale a slope, I hope the tracks won't

lead me down to the dark black pits or
places where we'd 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?
I'm the one that's wrong?
(The one that's wrong)
You see it in the sea
River cool's where I belong

In my Mersey paradise

As I stare an oil wheel comes
sailing by and I feel like

growing fins and falling in with the
bricks, the bikes, the rusty tin; I'll

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
