Lyrics

Lyrics by Eli Wallis.
SHALLOW SAND

Three combatants in a ring pit of sand
exposed to rain
by its tree-ring growing thin.

Red elephant purple seal
a yellow digging machine
in a ring of shallow sand.

There were too diggers here once perhaps the elephant too
certainly a few more trees.

A few Halloweens ago
I traded my car for an ounce of magic mushrooms.

But laws and symbols do not mean much when you are a bear.
We are horny, we rush hunger.
Was Joan of Arch twenty two or was only nineteen?

Silverfish have stolen the knowledge of man
crept into his texts without permission.

Cezanne takes you down to his place by the river
and he paints you
Pears and apples that come all the way from paris.

You're reading Katka and you don't see the cherry
about to drop to the open page.

The Order of Canada
goes to Shidane Arone.
god, they shot a gorilla

Yes it's raining here as well
and yet smoking on the phone?

The first generation of Shallow Sand.
