Jenny Haniver

Outcasts cast doubts out at sea,
seamen bear them with their fantasies
Hence I'm conceived, inescapably,
a devil of the sea daring not to deceive

Everybody looks the other way,
unsightly sight, nobody taking the blame
Mermaids giggle: 'Jenny's fighting the lore!',
driving me to tears down the ocean floor

Dive with me, close your eyes, and sink
deeper than dreams
Dying in make-believe is my key,
for I'm alive and I wanna...

Sink or swim, will I ever escape?
Sick and tired of being out of shape
Call me fake again and I'll make sure
to fake it till I make it, so get ready for more

Freak out, break down, out of the blue
to be a mermaid at the turn of the moon
Better still, a river prawn:
Watch me backtrack the Rubicon

Dive with me, close your eyes, and sink
deeper than dreams
Dying in make believe is my key,
for I'm alive and I wanna...

Sink... Sing...
with a change of key
with a change of key
Still you know
there's no lock on the open sea,
a sea-change has come for me
Sea-change has come, wait I'm not done:
I am the beauty of the raging sea

Dive with me, close your eyes, and sink
deeper than dreams
Dying in make-believe is my key,
for I'm alive, darling won't you

Dive with me, close your eyes, and sink
deeper than dreams
Dying in make-believe is my key,
for I am Jenny Haniver you see
