In Corolla |
The day I turned my back on all you people |
I felt an itching in my thumbs |
The salt air like a broadcast from the distant, dark beyond |
When my transformation comes |
I went down to the warm, warm water |
Saw a pelican fly past |
Waved once at the highway and then left all that behind me |
I went wading through the grass |
And no one was gonna come and get me |
There wasn’t anybody gonna know |
Even though I leave a trail of burnt things in my wake |
Every single place I go |
And it was cool, and it was quiet |
In the humid marsh down there |
I let my head sink down beneath the brackish water |
Felt it gumming up my hair |
The sun was sinking into the Atlantic |
The last time that I turned my back on you |
I tried to summon up a little prayer as I went under |
It was the best that I could do |
And I said |
«Let them all fare better than your servant» |
The reeds all pricking at my skin |
«Here's hoping they have better luck than I had down here with you» |
All that water rushing in |
