lyrics

THE BIG SEA
----------------
I dreamed an overbloated man-boy put his lips to my head
His cheeks were cold, his stubby fingers
traced the words that he said
He spoke of ugly death, and candy breath
And fixes that hit
He stroked my hair and whispered something
I was too gone to get
For many days and nights
I held the dirty truth in my hands
And watched the lifeless bodies rolling,
washing up on the sand
With all the noise in my head
I could swim with the fishes instead, because
Something's coming, big and strong
A shining, evil crown of bones
Swim in a river of piss
'Till you sink like a stone
In the Big Sea
It was a long, lonely wait at the pit of the well
Looking up at the sky
Water soaks into my skin
Drains the hole till it's dry, dry, dry
Long lazy afternoons of kissing the fix
The fix was a hoax
Now look into the river, baby
Wash your hands in the face of ghost...
