	Originao version of song written for "x"-girlfriend. The second half of the song is more jovial then the other.
	Lyrics On Pajaro dunes, love was born, seemed fated from the stars Standing on the beach with cold wet feet staring in your eyes Paralyzed by cupid’s waves, and oceans warm embrace We sealed the kiss, as mermaids do, submerged in complete faith You never left the ocean, and the ocean never left you Though I was born of city folk, and rarely felt a dew We mixed our worlds, entwined our hearts, created one from two Bypassed the greed and world of lust content with our sweet roux Why must it be, though syrupy, not all that is sweet lasts The albatross had its sites set on this land loving lad No accident I suppose it was that broke us back in two No accident, though insidious, that stole my gaze from you A sirens call, not female at all, emerged from memory That sirens call, pulled forth by age conjured my mystery A riddle which, without full mind, I could not fantasy A riddle which if unlocked in time, could help me breathe at sea Solo What takes three steps, pulls in six breaths, double takes and yet sees five Triangulates the stars, plays six guitars, has two ears and has five lives Three wicked men, wielding six great swords, wish to cut all that lives in two Found five bad witches, with a huge crock-pot, who boiled them to one bitches brew. 3 6 2 5 3 6 2 5 3 6 2 5 1 3 6 2 5 3 6 2 5 3 6 2 5 1 Now that’s one confusing riddle, and I knew it was tied to my soul. I knew I’d have tough time deciphering it and that I’d have to consult a pro So I made off to find Lou, the wisest cat in the world. He who sits upon a tree in Northampton, the haven of the wisest girls. Upon finding him, puffin’ on the finest cigar He said Mo, I’ve been expecting you and that satanic guitar That’s right Mo, I know this story you ain’t gonna like So buckle up home boy, while my lesson takes flight. Now, Some men are built for comfort, some are built for speed. Now, My friend, you’re built for neither, you’re here for one specific deed. I said, I imagine it’s this riddle for it’s has certainly stumped me He said, yeah that’s right Mo, have you heard the story of the tree I’ve heard tales of a deciduous named melody. He said, yeah, that’s right Mo she created all we see. You must understand you were born one of her leaves Created for music, not for swimming round the sea. And there’s another who fell far from the branch Yeah it’s that mermaid with whom you are apparently entranced Mo, you have your riddle, which you must figure out And she has her own, tougher than yours no doubt You will spend time apart, which will callous your soul Never let your memories slip and your heart will never grow cold you both have important missions that were handed down from the tree Both time consuming efforts for which you must both be free. Now get to the land of jazz, where your riddle can be undone The mermaid must focus on organizing children of the sun Scholarship is your goal, knowledge is your need The battlefield will unfold, music is your steed This is your first warning, for which you must take heed My son if you are not prepared, your heart will surely bleed But if per chance you do succeed we’ll grant you one wish If you choose, you’ll grow gills so you can frolic with the fish With any luck, you may once again taste a mermaids kiss Unlikely though, poor Mo you are, to feel your former bliss Eyes on the task, no time to sloth, get thee unto jazz Eyes on the task, no time to sloth, get thee unto jazz
