assuming everything

ariel dances in my room

i clutch a red balloon

and hope i don't get taken to

vacant rooms and tunes





assuming everything

ariel dances in my room

at night her eyes are blue

but will i ever want to see them

bleed them dry to cry

i would die





cause i can't help it if your soul is

shallow in the tides





assuming everything

ariel strikes a pretty pose

i'm taking off my clothes

and everybody knows what up

with my baby snows





assuming everything

ariel shakes her silly hair

i'll come before you there

and welcome to a summer slumber

under sheets that tear

and eyes that tear





cause i can't help it if the songs

get hard for you to hear





am i among the heirs of this ariel?





cause i can't help it if my heart gets

hard for you to hold

once... twice... sold.
