Up from the Down
1/31/22
The Earth is tossing and turning in her bed at night
she says she feels the spin, maybe the stars keep her dizzy
I'll send her a flash of light from the Sun
it will blind everyone
we all need to feel pretty
Down in a deep trench
the ocean is boiling
it knows all the secrets
it knows your story
he's strong armed and wicked
with a trident he strikes me
I fall up from the down
the air tastes like lightning
Compassion is squishy, love is a tempest
shopping cart's full and the aisle is the witness
sometimes it feels good to just push it around
maybe I won't check out
but I won't put it
Down in a deep trench
the ocean is boiling
it knows all our secrets
it knows our story
strong armed and wicked
with a trident it strikes me
I fall up from the down
the air tastes like lightning
the air tastes
like lightning
