Anklebone from Mussel Memory by Magnificent Octopus

Grab on to the anklebone of the moon
Hang on tight it’s slippery
It’s not as bright up here but
I can see, anyway

Falling to the ground as the wind blows
I scrape my knees on the pavement

I’ve lost my shoe and it’s raining very hard

Falling to the ground
Lower than the subway mice
I fall, through the ground.
I’m lying down I turn to crawl
To crawl, away
To find the strength and face another

Day - - Yeah - - - - ayah - a - a-ya

Falling to the ground as the wind blows
A seagull shit on my forehead.

I broke my teeth and I’m coughing up a lung

(Instrumental)

Scanning the ground looking for a shiny coin
Oh look! A lucky penny
Oh joy! My fortune grows
Now I just need a million more...

Wasting away in the rain at the bus stop
A tentacle taps my shoulder
I’m falling to the ground as my hair grows
I cry, but nobody hears me...

Falling to the ground
Lower than the subway mice
I fall, through the ground.
I’m lying down I turn to crawl
To crawl, away
To find the strength and face another day
