One Anemone

Crushed to your shell
into the shallow end we fell
isn't it elegant we've
got these bodies?
Warm in a braid
and between us, the whole parade
It's gonna take a lot of love...
Rush, rush and foam
from the balconies overgrown
we're coming home like horses
forest shore us
Isn't it elegant we've
got these bodies?
A band of them,
one anemone

LYRICS:
They call me sailor, don’t quite know why
no ship, no sail, no flag to fly
red sky in the morning is just a sky
I’m kind of shy
My shell’s a spiral, I’m told it’s gold
nearly perfection to behold
it’s only the room that unfolds, unfolds
as I grow old
Folks all over the world call me
a miracle of mathematical beauty
but if you’re ever meditating on me
look beyond the symmetry
I’m a creature, can’t you see
simply seeking pleasure, me, immeasurably
hungry like you, baby
I drift, I roll and sometimes I glide
I bounce along, I bank and dive
I move how I must move to stay alive
from tide to tide
Folks all over the world believe
you can see the universe uncurl in me
heaven ever swelling elegantly
but I’m an animal like thee
breathing cause it needs to breathe
in between the mystery and the geometry
hungry like you baby
I grow and grow, the walls follow
exploding slow and lo, behold
a chamber greater than the one before
in time, in time as I unwind
I find it will not bind me
it becomes the one I leave behind me
Folks all over the world agree
Mother Nature made me very fair to see
so paint me, put in your poetry
but inside I’m just a freak
a monster of the dark and deep
brave and stupid, wise and weird
and mighty and weak
hungry like you, baby
Funny like you, babe
frightened like you, babe
hungry like you, baby
Sleeping like you, babe
waking like you, babe
hungry like you, baby
Living like you, babe
dying like you, babe
hungry like you, baby

It's twenty-eight years
twenty eight years in the ring
no more swing
I'm holding my ears to the wind
no more spin
I stood on two feet
on two feet like a good girl
no more twirl
out here in the street
I'll stand on bricks
no more tricks
Abul-abbas, all I know
is those old bones
sleeping so
sound on the ground
though I may
be far away
Abul-abbas, all that
I feel is the tall grass
don't you fret
I forget
better and better
every day
Goodbye to their gloves
to their gloves and hands
no more dance
they are gonna play
rough with me now
no more bow
Abul-abbas, all I know
is those old bones
sleeping so
sound on the ground
though I'm far away
Abul-abbas, I'm dreaming
of those old bones
I never been
there but in
very good time
I'll go to stay
Let them burn me like an ember
who will remember them?
