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 its 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 its 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
