lyrics

Blood on the water blood from the nose
Blood keeps dripping all over the toes
The canon is loose all feelings divulged
The eyes and elbows simultaneously bulged
A quiver and shake a quiver half full
A small family seen swimming to school
A clap of thunder a pat on the back
It isn't a chasm it's only a crack
The arms of the Lord are wrapping around
The lowest of kings about to be crowned
The creases increase the temples they grey
The older the mouth the less it will say
A bag for the body when the body's asleep
A hole in the ground at the end of the street

Falling from the curb may seem absurd
Like finding that feet are blocking the words
Like walking down the street in a growing herd
Or flying with a flock of migrating birds

The arms of the Lord are wrapping around
The lowest of kings about to be crowned
The creases increase the temples they grey
The older the mouth the less it will say
A bag for the body when the body's asleep
A hole in the ground at the end of the street
Or flying with a flock of migrating birds

Or flying with a flock of migrating birds
