I thought that I was hungry for blood
Maybe I'm just hungry for love

Tear from a woman on the shore
You prairie ghost on a cottage hall
Oh, the mermaids have sharp teeth
Razor blades all in your feet

England is only ever grey or green
The girls glitter striding glorious and coatless in the rain
I remember fallin' through these streets
Somewhat out of place, if not for the drunkenness

It makes my chest hurt to think of it
Not of regret, but of missing that

Cheerful oblivion
Cheerful oblivion

It was not all pain and pavement slick with rain
And shinin' under lights from shitty clubs and doing shitty drugs
And huggin' girls that smelled like Britney Spears and coconuts
And with your mermaid hair and your teeth so sharp
You crawled from the sea to break that sailor's heart
You only get one night up on the shore
So dance like you've never danced before
And the dance floor is filling up with blood
But, oh, Lord, you've never been so in love

Cheerful oblivion
Cheerful oblivion
Cheerful oblivion

And mermaids, they come once a year
They climb the struts of Brighton Pier
They come to drink, they come to dance
To sacrifice a human heart
And the world is so much wilder than you think
You haven't seen nothin' 'til you seen an English girl drink

Cheerful oblivion
Cheerful oblivion
Cheerful oblivion
Cheerful oblivion
Cheerful oblivion

Mermaids

run away girl

Yeah, I slept in my heels, spent hours in the tub
Left you messages to say I'm still in love
Wore my robe to the shops, cried in aisle three
When it hit you're not coming back to me
I think I'm feeling just a little psycho
They say hey you gotta let him go
But I'm picking out my wedding dress
Making lists of our wedding guests
When you left, I begged you to stay
When I cried, you just left anyway
When I blocked the front door, 
You just climbed out my window
When I chased your car down the street
All the dogs just ran with me
It might have been my all time low
But maybe I've got further to go
I've watched romantic movies end
and they always end
With her lover coming back again
So maybe you just need more time
Or I will be waiting until I'm ninety nine
They say, they think I'm spiraling, and I agree
But I'm spiraling in choreography
I'll be OK, I say, now don't you worry
I'm sure they'll find a cure for me
When you left, I begged you to stay
When I cried, you just left anyway
When I blocked the front door, 
You just climbed out my window
When I chased your car down the street
All the dogs just ran with me
It might have been my all time low
 But maybe I've got further to go
I think I'm feeling just a little psycho
They say girl you gotta let him go
But I'm dancing in my wedding dress
Screaming at the bar my life's a mess
When you left, I begged you to stay
When I cried, you just left anyway
When I blocked the front door, 
You just climbed out my window
When I chased your car down the street
All the dogs just ran with me
It might have been my all time low
 But maybe I've got further to go

It might have been my all time low
 But maybe I've got further to go

It might have been my all time low
 But maybe I've got further to go

It might have been my all time low
 But maybe I've got further to go

I've got further to go...

No Light, No Light
