Ocean/Highway

"and your highway
tries to be the beach
keeping ocean from the land it would defeat
and it's just the biggest wishing well
eating pennies like popcorn
all that salt will hold a body
dead or alive

and you make a wish
you take a wish
never noticing what she put in her hand
then the fog rolls in
just clouds too tired to fly
the silver lining jellyfish will stop you cold
paralyzed

oceanside
highway
oceanside
highway
no one walks on water

and in the sand
your castle cliche temporary
soon your home will be all moat
and it's the perfect place to bury me
warm and snug as arms
the kind of pressure that helps you sleep
the steady ocean purr

oceanside
highway
oceanside
highway
no one walks on water
anymore"




"La chair est triste, hélas et j'ai lu tous les livres"
