lyrics

Slime Angel
Brad Erickson 2012


I saw your finger, reach out from the kelp
I looked around, there was no one to call for help
I pulled you loose, yeah, you were alive
You had the strangest eyes

You’re not a mermaid, you haven’t got a tail
But there’s something twisted ‘bout you, like a snail
And the glow that vapors off you, that was a surprise
But most of all, I’m shattered by those eyes

CHORUS
Slime Angel, Slime Angel, your skin is damp and greenish yellow
Slime Angel, Slime Angel, Neptune kicked you out of his bordello
You broke the rules, Slime Angel, too kinky for the sea
But I don’t care Slime Angel, you can stay here with me

Slime Angel, you taught me interspecies love
My family says to leave you, but I tell them to shove
My house smells like low tide, not in a bad way
I’m saying that I want you to stay

CHORUS

BRIDGE
You got fish bait eyes, slinky little seaweed lingerie
I’m hypnotized, shipwrecked, north of Monterrey, yeah
Damn! Slime Angel, you knock me out
You’re not just a rainbow, you’re a rainbow trout
Wet-look fashion, lord you wrote the book, yeah
Come on Slime Angel, bite my hook

And never let go, stay with me
Let ‘em call you freak show, stay with me
I’m still your beau, stay with me
I’ll fertilize your roe, stay with me
So just go with the flow, stay with me
And stay with me
