Mermaid Slur Lyrics

Is this the desperate mile?
Are the seagulls hungry still?
Did the pond run out of water?
Turn into a motorway?
Did the forest see itself slaughtered
And modelled into decay?

Did the kitten pur?
Did the mermaid slur?
I can't see a wind of wind of a way
We wonder then thunder
Winding road old cold abode
Under mountain snow and howling skies
Where it is grey but to survive
First you must be alive

Pinch your skin and look within
Find a thought and a fish finger
Baked beans upon your plate
It's gotten late again
Why did the wilderness weep tonight?
Do you know the way out?
Do you know the way out?
