Ocean Life

The sky is full of dirty, aching air



That's burning a greasy yellow



And zooming slowly in on everyone



Untie these fighting sunsets that will not be fulfilled



The noise on her eyes is still there



Even when the retina peels from the strain of the dull



Sacrilegious commandment



Of an eye for an eye or a tooth for a truth



Even the ocean is ghettoized now



Another dirty alleyway that leads nobody home



When you're so young and full of expectations



You're looking for that perfect wave



And when you'd like to ride 'em all



So I ask you from the bottom of my heart



Is that any way to treat your mother?



Red, red, red river, bloody ocean of sorrowful memories



Carry me to the deep blue sea, I hear you calling me



Is it true that virtue fell by the wayside, not even a mark?



And who will lift the fog of bitterness, pull aside the tide of regret?



Who will avoid the undertow of sentimental drift?



Who can live long on poetry and wrath?



I don't have the patience



But what does it cost on the open market?



And who can afford that?



I wanna be buried in the bottom of the ocean



Like Shelly Winters in 'The night of the hunter'



My hair billowing, being kissed by the fishes, Sushi for Shabu



If fishes were wishes, I'd have you, I'd have you



Ah, I've never felt one, a tremor that is



Greed, envy, lust, gluttony, anger, pride
