 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
 Solo on these chords with lots of distortion and wahwah
 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
 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
 The tiny purple fishes run laughing through your fingers
 And you want to take her with you to the hard land of the winter

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

Solo on these chords with lots of distortion and wahwah

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

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

The tiny purple fishes run laughing through your fingers
And you want to take her with you to the hard land of the winter
