whale song

we might be whales
in the underworld

the rabbit's ghost
pressed flat
to the midnight earth
had a message
for you

where were you?

oh, maybe in the garden of eels
oh, maybe in the garden
where the blue light fell
like chain-link in the grass
made you trip
didn't it

we might be whales
in the next life

what you see isn't
what you see
isn't what
is

it's so hard to train for the olympics
when you don't know
if it's winter or summer

orca or beluga
humpback or sperm
minke
oh, don't be a minke
Japanese people eat the minke

the mystic dixie cup
missed you in the
misty witches crux

waiting in the underworld
think you'll be
a humpback

they sing the nicest songs
