I was waiting for a mermaid to appearnSaying come little boy drown your fearnSo young we're the new explorersnWith the spirit of Doctor LivingstonnWe'll talk to the savage seanIt's the only direction for you and mennWe won't die together in the desertnWe'll escape from the men of preynWe'll smile like the French ResistancenAnd laugh at the guillotinennWe'll talk to the savage seanIt's the only direction for you and menDisapproved of life around themnSo they created a world of their ownnYou're my last request before the firing squadnBut bullets cannot penetrate the seannWe'll hide in the savage seanIt's the only direction for you and menWhy should heroes always die in battlenTake the violinnWe're exiles
