Bad Examples - Man Underwater
Shiver me timbers, blow me away in a dead man’s hat
Scatter my bones in a singapore alleyway
I’ll hang my head in a hong kong wind and hum a homesick song
A cigarette burning on the tip of my tongue
When the ship pulls into harbor
And the moth burns it’s wings and falls
Incense burning in the dragonfly room come sit on my knee
Mumble unknown oriental words
Shadows dance from the candles and the sandalwood taste of skin
So hot tonight the air is as heavy as gauze
When the ship pulls into harbor
And the moth burns it’s wings and falls
Man underwater -- I’m here in the belly of the beast
Man underwater -- I’m choking on an invisible feast
Got rolled last night by a shadow who cut my lip with a stone
Woke in the gutter with blood on my chinnie chin chin
Made it back to the ship and the groan of the hawser pulling at the wharf
Pulled a sliver of glass from my hand
Man underwater -- I’m here in the belly of the beast
Man underwater -- I’m choking on an invisible feast
So kiss me again, you know I spent good money for this
I’ll slip into you like the mainland mists at dawn
I’ll crush your lips are as hot and sweet as the milk of my mother’s love
She’s dead and denied but you’re still young and firm
Man underwater -- I’m here in the belly of the beast
Man underwater -- I’m choking on an invisible feast
Man underwater -- I’m here in the belly of the beast
Man underwater -- I’m choking on an invisible feast
On an invisible feast ... on an invisible feast ... on an invisible feast
