Stereolab — I Feel The Air (Of Another Planet) lyrics

the appeal of a "consequence"
perfect as it couldn't say no
met by a cold body of air
a presence under ?humid air?
he will take it to the water
he will swim and swim on further
the ocean is deep and salted
there reign a world of the mermaid
the imagined profuse
leaving a man confused
the story was short-lived
not before long after
