Lyrics:
Plunge into the roiling black
Pry yourself from barnacle now
Shock! suck breath in
Shock! push breath out
Tumbling in seaweed
Singing mussels sigh farewell

Is this where the mermaids live?
No bearings but flotation
No compass but a slippery tail
Writhing and uncoiling
With the dirt all washed away.
