Mersey Paradise Lyrics - Turns Into Stone - Stone Roses

River splashes against the rocks and I scale the slope 

I hope the tracks won't 

Lead me down to dark black pits or 

Places where we fall to bits 

If she were there I'd hold her down 

I'll push her under while she drowns 

And couldn't breathe and claw for air 

She doesn't care for my despair 

Or is it me? Or the one that's wrong? 

You see it in the sea 

River cools where I belong 

In my Mersey paradise 

As I stare an oil well comes 

Sailing by and I feel like 

Growing fins and falling in 

With the bricks, the bikes, the rusty tin 

I swim along without a care 

I'm eating sand when I need air 

You can bet your life I'll meet a pike 

Who'll wolf me down for tea tonight 

I want to be where the drownings are 

You see it in the sea 

River cool's where I belong 

In my Mersey paradise 

I want to be where the drownings are 

You see it in the sea 

River cool's where I belong 

Oh yeah 

I want to be where the drownings are 

You see it in the sea 

River cool's where I belong 

In my Mersey paradise
