Lyrics: 
You though the leading winter would bring you down forever 
But you rode upon a steamer to violence of the sun 
 
And the colours of the sea blind your eyes with trembling mermaids 
And you touch the distant beaches with tales of brave Ulysses 
How his naked ears were tortured by the sirens sweetly singing 
While the sparkling waves are calling you to kiss the white laced lips 
 
Middle part: 
Solo on these chords with lots of distortion and wahwah 
     A                 D  C  A                 D  C   
Beat *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  * 
 
  
And you see a girls brown body dancing through the turqouise 
And her footprints make you follow where the sky loves the sea 
And when your fingers find her she drowns you in her body 
Carving deep blue ripples in the tissues of your mind 
 
**Middle part again** 
 
The tiny purple fishes run laughing through your fingers 
And you want to take her with you to the hard land of the winter 
 
Her name is Aphrodite and she rides a crimson shell 
And you know you cannot leave her for you touched the distant sands 
With tales of brave Ulysses how his naked ears were tortured 
By the sirens sweetly singing 
 
**Solo on verse chords** 
 
The tiny purple fishes run laughing through your fingers 
And you want to take her with you to the hard land of the winter 
 
**More solo on verse** 
 
 
Enjoy!
