You're not a little lady, the magic's worn out
Your father's tall tales long since been found out
Of mermaids rescuing him in the deep blue
You want to be one too
Get on your own white horse, homemade shining armor
All saddled with debt and the world's weight upon ya
Ready to fight, now you're not sure what's worth fighting for
Love or love of war
Pioneer without a frontier on this dry land
Wanted to be a sea maid swimming in the ocean
Just swimming in the ocean
You promised one pound of flesh for education
You pledged one more pretty pound for confidence
What kind of life is it you want in the real world now
That you've paid for it
Pioneer without a frontier on this dry land
Wanted to be a sea maid swimming in the ocean
Just swimming in the ocean
Wet with sea water, loose dripping hair is flowing
Nymphs unadorned body on the warm sand glowing
She said you"re not alone, all this time I've been beside you
Sometimes I even guide you
My voice gets drowned in the chamber of the deep sea
No one can hear my song how 'bout you sing it for me
Trust your struggle, it's been a blessing in disguise
Your struggle never lies
Pioneer without a frontier on this dry land
Wanted to be a sea maid swimming in the ocean
There's no singing in the ocean
There's so much to do on dry land
So much for you on dry land
