Why is your pretty friend wearing her collar high?
Why does she turn away when you look at her in the eye?

It gives me the chills
It´s like you to want the one
The one that you couldn´t keep
Watch how she holds her breath
And leaves when you go to sleep

The lady´s got gills
There´s nothing you can do about it, yeah
The lady´s got gills
There´s nothing you can do about it, yeah

You´d give everything you have
If she´d just promise to come back
From her unexplained trips to the harbor
Where the tide runs black
There´s no sense in trading places
To lock her up and keep her in the bath

Or learn how to hold her breath

The lady´s got gills
There´s nothing you can do about it, yeah
The lady´s got gills
There´s nothing you can do about it, yeah

Watching from the shore
No, you don´t want to lose her
To the roar insatiable
Would you rather drown than say goodbye?
