(The triangle) was where she worked as a secretary. She has long blonde hair and there were flags flapping. It was October and there was this haze. It was romantic and I wrote this thing. She was at the bottom of the lake in a mermaid cave and swam around. She was like an albino fish, never ate daylight. Of course, I didn't say that in the song because the song was flawed. I should have said 'albino fish'. If we'd been Thin White Rope, I could have written a song about albino fish. She is an albino mermaid, clever and cool, but I'm not clever and cool.""<ref>{{cite web \| url=http://americanmusicclub.com/index.php?title=Articles:Unhinged_-_Winter_1989 \| work=Unhinged \| date=Winter 1989 \| author=Drew \| title=American Music Club \| accessdate=March 27, 2018}}</ref>

==Lyrics==
Pale and skinny girl lives in the middle of a mountain 
Long golden hair, someone pull her out 
She walks across a parking lot 
with two quarters in her hand 
She just wants to take a little break from nothing

Never sees the daylight 
Never needs the daylight

Outside the air pocket, there's no one around 
She's frozen with terror like an animal 
Baby take your first walk out into the wasteland 
On every horizon, nothing

Never needs daylight 
Never sees the daylight 
Never needs daylight
