lyrics
10 PM from the headlands, you get the view
Breaking dawn on Black Sand Beach, you feel the naked truth
Looking for the future, wading toward Japan
Vanishing between the cresting swells, she said,
"Give me back what's mine"
Mermaid of Marin, you're the burning bridge at the back of my mind
Mermaid of Marin, in the swallowing, swallowtail tide
Signatures on seashells, souvenirs for shore
Entangled in economy, she swims until she's sore
Then up against the future, I reached out for her hand
She declined. She said, "Give me back what's mine"
Mermaid of Marin, you're the burning bridge at the back of my mind Mermaid of Marin, in the swallowing, swallowtail tide
Mermaid, mermaid...
Whispering, "Give me back what's mine"
Whispering, "Give me back what's mine"
You're the burning bridge at the back of my mind
Mermaid of Marin, in the swallowing, swallowtail tide
In the tide, in the tide…
Whispering, "Give me back what's mine"
From the headlands, you get the view
From the headlands, you get the view

By turns surreal, beautiful, arch, and melancholic, MaLT’s sonic adventures explore the meaning of love and role of sex in a
failing, depersonalized culture. Literate enough for lasting relevance, tuneful enough for disposable pop; dark, sometimes heavy, but always with sly humor and a dash of hope. Active in SF CA between 1991 and 1993 ... Credit Louis-Ferdinand Céline for the incendiary name....more
