Oyster

Kick me in the eye,
Shuck me in your hands
Where the seagulls fly
Find me in the sand
Here comes my entire world,
Bivalve here I am
Feed me with your tubular lips
Swallowed in the sun

I will find a way, I will try to taste bitter
This is no way, life should have been easier
This was no way, life should have been easier
Clinging to the reef, I wave along like a leave...

You fear your world will end
Feel it drain away
Like a handful of sand
Let it drain away
Here comes my entire world,
Tongue and cheek and gum
Drum washer still rotating
Swallowed in the sun

I will find a way, I will try to like bitter
This is no way, life should have been easier
This was no way, life should have been easier
Clinging to the reef, I wave along like a leave...
