Jellyfish - New Mistake lyrics

Curtain opens, spotlights the gentleman

Signing his love letter best wishes Simpleton

Dialog swam from his pen like pollywogs

He knew better that perfume was gravity

Pulling him closer to what could be tragedy

Love is blind, deaf and dumb, but never mind

You better catch me when I fall

I'm on my roller skates

Cause any ole way that I fall

I land in your arms even though it's wrong

Cause I love my new mistake

Intermission gave way to a miracle

The birth of an accident grew to a spectacle

That didn't wait, her mother was three weeks late

So Father Mason clutching his crucifix

Baptized the baby in whiskey and licorice

What a lovely way, drowning sins in tooth decay

Looks like our hero's gonna fall

The boughs are bound to break

Cause any old way that I fall

I'll be in your arms as we lie awake

with our lovely new mistake

You better catch me when I fall

My sugar trampoline

Cause any old way that I fall

I land in your arms even though it's wrong

Cause I love my new mistake

The ending turned tragic when many years later

The baby had grown up and married a pop singer

I think it was her turn to make her first mistake

Any old time at all

Any old way that I fall

I just lie awake with my new mistake
