Twirl, Mermaid! from Beach Episode by Sherry CD-ROM

Sparkle, wave
Twirl, mermaid
This city sweats it out
Your head face down

You don't fit in anywhere
Wallflower on the floor
Every stupid party
You're just playing phone games
In the bathroom
And how do those people treat you?
They've been nothing else but sweet
Around your neck some tungsten
In the shape of your own key
Every time you try to turn it right
You end up turning left

Sparkle, wave
Twirl, mermaid
This city sweats it out
Your head face down

Realize, someday
No one's judging you
Notice, sometimes
No one's watching you
Deep in your mind
You can't seem to accept it
But know this:
Even in your darkest days, there are
Little hints of light

Missing out on everything
Your tail is sticking out
Your metamour said it looks cool,
But somehow that gets overshadowed
For every pound of feathers
There is a pound of steel
These things should weigh the same
But sorrow's so much easier to feel

Learn to take a compliment, mermaid
Practice if you must
The nice things that they say to you, mermaid
You can soak them up

Twirl, mermaid
Twirl, mermaid
Twirl, mermaid
