Rundown streets, seaside bars
Mermaids stacked in glassy jars
Dark arcades where dealers sleep
Calling out with dreams they keep
Out on boardwalks lovers creep
Over rickety piers, water so deep
Thru museums filled with wax
Sinister figures never relax
GIVE ME A RIDE TO NEPTUNE CITY
WHERE LIFE'S ELECTRIC AND PEOPLE PRETTY
NEPTUNE CITY WHERE SHADOWS CALL
JUST CAN'T SEEM TO FIND MY WAY AT ALL
Beneath the waves, sirens sing
Beautiful songs, beautiful dreams
A sailor that drowns in their embrace
Dies with a smile on his scruffy face
CHORUS: REPEAT
(bridge)
Thanks for stopping, I could use the ride
I've been trapped in the strangest tide
The closer I get to being free
The further I'm drawn
The further I'm drawn... out to the sea
Out to the sea
Out to the sea
Out to the sea
Out to the sea...
This lyrics for this song were originally provided by Arthur Gilbert and then later reworked to fit the melody. Here is the original version:
Along the coast the mermaids
Are stacked inside glass jars
That they display on counter tops
In rundown seaside bars
Where you can stare at them for hours
Until you're seeing stars
In the end your as close to them
As the Earth is to Mars
CAN YOU GIVE ME A RIDE
TO NEPTUNE CITY
WHERE THE GIRLS ARE PRETTY
IN NEPTUNE CITY
The preying mantis eats it mate
But its just having fun
In the arcade the ladies lie
Like reptiles in the sun
Casanova longs to touch them
In oceanic dreams
While in the world of flesh and bone
Nothing is as it seems
CHORUS: REPEAT
Beneath the swamp lovely sirens sing
Songs no human can deny
Sailors submerged in their embrace
Have come to see them die
Harlequin pulls the curtain shut
That hides the made machines
Concealing reality
That's bursting from the seams
Show me the way to Neptune City
Beneath the waves of Neptune City
