You hear, the merman swampin' around Grab your ears, look away, try to block out the sound Then you smell the sludge, see a lifeless shell Close your eyes, look away, better get up and... Want to see our world, want to play our game Knowing that your life is rotting away Call anyone, even call collect, Figure out quick what you're gonna do next! Only the strong survive when you play our game of hit and run See all the horrors of life when the snake strikes in your eden Only the strong survive when you play our game of hit and run See all the horrors of life when the snake strikes in your eden Want to see our world, try to play our game Knowing that your life is rotting away Call anyone, even call collect Figure out quick, nothing you can do! You breathe, the smoke into your lungs now To see what hides beyond the angel's light Only the strong survive when you play our game of hit and run See all the horrors of life when the snake strikes in your eden He grabs you stab he takes a bite, take his life, take this life He pulls you grab he tears away take his life, take this life The waves crash down, his hands become clenched From the harpoon tainted with Poseidon's stench The disintegrating deck teeters away Because now he knows, foul things are at play!
