lyrics

THE BEACH BALL OF AGES

Black bear, dance on a ball.
Black bear, dance til you fall.

Let's climb to the top of the Tree of Forgiveness,
and let's sit in the back where we really can feel it
swim in our bodies, weightless, a virus,
like sin is a laugh, like a balancing porpoise.

The beach ball of ages is marked up by devils
and I am their oysters, their mouths are my temple.
Did you swim in the ocean of oceans of oceans?
Was it talking incessantly? Singing occasionally?

Deliver this ship to her half-open window.
Deliver your body to the half-open river.
Reach as if for a lover who stares like a stranger
stared deep as the pockets of communist painters.

Stare back, and relax.
Stare back, and relax.
Stare back, and relax.

Did you swim in the ocean of oceans of oceans
of oceans of oceans of oceans of oceans
of oceans of oceans of oceans of oceans
of oceans of oceans of oceans of oceans?

Stare back, and relax.
Stare back, and relax.

Black bear, dance on a ball.
