The Jimi Hendrix Experience - 1983... (A Merman I Should Turn To Be) lyrics

[Verse 1: Jimi Hendrix] Hurrah! I awake from yesterday Alive but the war is here to stay So, my love, Catherina and me Decide to take our last walk Through the noise to the sea Not to die but to be re-born Away from a life so battered and torn Forever [Verse 2: Jimi Hendrix] Oh, say can you see, it's really such a mess Every inch of earth is a fighting nest Giant pencil and lip-stick tube shaped things Continue to rain and cause screaming pain And the arctic stains From silver blue to bloody red As our feet find the sand and the sea Is straight ahead, straight ahead [Verse 3: Jimi Hendrix] Well it's too bad that our friends can't be with us today Well that's too bad "The machine that we built would never save us" That's what they say (That's why they aren't coming with us today) And they also said "It's impossible for man to live and breathe underwater forever" Was their main complaint (Yeah) And they also threw this in my face, they said: "Anyway, you know good well It would be beyond the will of God And the grace of the King" (grace of the King yeah, yeah) [Verse 4: Jimi Hendrix] So my darling and I make love in the sand To salute the last moment ever on dry land Our machine has done its work, played its part well Without a scratch on our bodies and we bid it farewell Starfish and giant foams greet us with a smile Before our heads go under, we take a last look At the k**ing noise of the out of style The out of style, out of style [Guitar Mini-Solo] [Psychedelic Breakdown] [Verse 5: Jimi Hendrix] So down and down and down and down And down and down we go Hurry, my darling, we mustn't be late for the show Neptune champion games to an aqua world is so very dear Right this way smiles a mermaid I can hear Atlantis full of cheer Atlantis full of cheer I can hear Atlantis full of cheer [Guitar Solo]
