SATURNALIA

SATURNALIA

4.7.12

Swim 95



I remember when the red was drowned
the sharks swam with the snakes
my little blue planet got less lively,
the ponds turned into lakes

I crashed into a weeping wound,
drove right into you
turned around and found my way,
i ran till red was blue

 you never should have spoken darling,
your lying cleared the room
now I can't believe the sea is parting,
the ocean split in two

I twist my neck around
and show them how to swim
If I make it out alive today,
tell them I am sin

 there's no sea of love to drink
no place i would like to sink
no quagmire that is deep enough
to keep me off my feet

there isn't a sunrise close enough
that I would like to reach
no moonlight kind enough
nor one that I could ever meet

you might have sung of days to come
of how much you love him
but you never should have asked me that
when you know that I can't swim
