How could you Let it in your house And let it in your bed? To where the wallet lay Another shiv instead So how do you taste When you kiss it on the face? To when the blue eyes sail in from the north I guess you do what you do When you need to feel some empty space
Anything you need from me The eight arms around you Another heart to pound for you Another set of awkward lungs We breath up the air of men We don't pretend A liver a lung a kidney a thumb Lies in some heart of some beloved Because the best part is You never know just what became of beloved
(The slow circling of the drain)
Sleep with the fishes!
We do what we do To fill the empty space So how do I do? I'm running out of space So how do I do With the pockets in the space I turn the page
You'll never live to see the ocean You'll never live to see the sky You'll never live to see any garden Or giant river (and goodbye)
So hide it like a compass And let me know where I should be And when it's cold and snowy I like the way you froze the meat
Anything you need from me The eight arms around you Another heart to pound for you Another set of awkward lungs We breath up the air of men We don't pretend A liver a lung a kidney a thumb Lies in some heart of some beloved Because the best part is Because the best part is
Sleep with the fishes! (Or I'll sleep with you)
My little nest of vipers My little miss know-it-all Drive carefully dear
