Mermaid Motel

Maybe we could go to Coney Island

Maybe I could sing the national anthem

I, a white sweater, for the last white day

Of the summer

Buy my purple wig

For my mermaid video

Walk back to where we live

In a motel

on Neptune Avenue

You call me lavender, you call me sunshine

You say take it off, take it off

You call me lavender, you call me sunshine

You say take it off, take it off

We'll see Van Halen at the reunion show

Heavy metal hour on T.V.

Diamond Dave and Ray late

And you salute me, Miss America

Because I am, I am

You call me lavender, you call me sunshine...

Maybe we could go to Coney Island

Maybe I could sing you to sleep

God bless the universe, god bless the ocean

God bless you and god bless me

God bless you and god bless me

You call me lavender, you call me sunshine...
