Choke the moon
Crush the sky
Don't let life pass you by
Summer storm
Spring parade
March along in this charade
On a raft of bones and ivy
I sailed the Mississipp'
In a pool of boiling water
I took myself a dip
Lost at night
In a maze of pine
I begged the stars to make you mine
The needles tore
My aching back
I tensed to meet the next attack
On a raft of bones and ivy
I sailed the Mississipp'
In a pool of boiling water
I took myself a dip
When all life
Is no more
Listen to the silence roar
Find a hole
Twelve feet wide
Curse your birth then crawl inside
On a raft of bones and ivy
I sailed the Mississipp'
In a pool of boiling water
I took myself a dip
I took myself a dip
Crush the sky
Don't let life pass you by
Summer storm
Spring parade
March along in this charade
On a raft of bones and ivy
I sailed the Mississipp'
In a pool of boiling water
I took myself a dip
Lost at night
In a maze of pine
I begged the stars to make you mine
The needles tore
My aching back
I tensed to meet the next attack
On a raft of bones and ivy
I sailed the Mississipp'
In a pool of boiling water
I took myself a dip
When all life
Is no more
Listen to the silence roar
Find a hole
Twelve feet wide
Curse your birth then crawl inside
On a raft of bones and ivy
I sailed the Mississipp'
In a pool of boiling water
I took myself a dip
I took myself a dip
