PHISH - The Squirming Coil lyrics

rate me

The squirming coil of sunset<br>I keep within my reach<br>Tried yesterday to get away<br>And hitchhiked to the beach<br><br>I saw satan on the beach<br>Trying to catch a ray<br>He wasn't quite the speed of light<br>And the squirming coil<br>It got away....<br><br>The muscles flex the mother's ring<br>She fastens children to her king<br>And sends him down the crooked street<br>When he returns, the birth's complete<br><br>Jimmy holds the tannis root<br>The forest's tasty nectar shoot<br>The sun tips off the monarch's suit<br>From sequined sash to shiny boot<br><br>I'd like to lick the coil some day<br>Like icarus, who had to pay<br>With melting wax and feathers brown<br>He tasted it on his way down<br><br>Stun the puppy!<br>Burn the whale!<br>Bark a scruff and go to jail!<br>Forge the coin and lick the stamp!<br>Little jimmy's off to camp
