在腦袋又重新排演了一遍
你說了什麼什麼之後沈默睡去
留我一個人 反覆播著數字按鈕_
／
巫婆拿出了刀子說著 只要往王子的心臟插入
就可以變回在海裡自由自在的美人魚
結果我沒有將刀丟進海裡
也沒有變成泡沫從世上消失
更沒有拿刀子殺死我心愛的王子
因為那美麗的雙腳是用聲音換來的
於是我將刀子用的插入自己的心臟
我不要變成泡沬 我想要成為人類
就算沒有王子 我也想要和他一樣 成為擁有雙腳的人類
突然 禁不起氣管騷癢
輕咳一聲 醒了。
天色仍暗 是夢
翻身 左胸口透著微微疼痛

我嘟嚷著：公主需要的是_ 騎士_王子_

< Introduction of Leonard Cohen reading a poem: >
I heard of a man who says words so beautifully
that if he only speaks their name
women give themselves to him.
If I am dumb beside your body
while silence blossoms like tumors on our lips,
it is because I hear
a man climb the stairs
and clear his throat
outside our door.
< segue into Tori singing SATY >
Excuse me but can I be you for a while
My DOG won’t bite if you sit real still
I got the anti-Christ in the kitchen yellin’ at me again
Yeah I can hear that
Been saved again by the garbage truck
I got something to say you know but NOTHING comes
Yes I know what you think of me you never shut up
Yeah I can hear that
But what if I’m a mermaid
In these jeans of his with her name still on it
Hey but I don’t care
Cause sometimes I said sometimes I hear my voice and it’s been
HERE silent all these years
So you found a girl who thinks really deep thoughts
What’s so amazing about really deep thoughts
Boy you best pray that I bleed real soon
How’s that thought for you
My scream got lost in a paper cup
You think there’s a heaven where some screams have gone
I got 25 bucks and a cracker do you think it’s enough
To get us there
But what if I’m a mermaid
In these jeans of his with her name still on it
Hey but I don’t care
Cause sometimes I said sometimes I hear my voice and it’s been
HERE silent all these
Years go by will I still be waiting
For somebody else to understand
Years go by if I’m stripped of my beauty
And the orange clouds raining in my head
Years go by will I choke on my tears
Till finally there is nothing left
One more casualty
You know we’re to EASY easy easy
Well I love the way we communicate
Your eyes focus on my funny lip shape
Let’s hear what you think of me now but baby don’t look up
The sky is falling
Your MOTHER shows up in a nasty dress
It’s your turn now to stand where I stand
Everybody lookin’ at you here take hold of my hand
Yeah I can hear them
But what if I’m a mermaid
In these jeans of his with her name still on it
Hey but I don’t care
Cause sometimes I said sometimes I hear my voice
I hear my voice
I hear my voice
And it’s been HERE silent all these years
I’ve been here silent all these years
Silent all these
Silent all these years
