Kurrel The Raven - The Human Tail lyrics

rate me

In the air behind me is a tail

I can feel it now

Poking through the chair I'm sitting in

But I don't know how

I know it's there

In the air

Kinaesthesia argues with the physical realities

So evident to other senses

Piping up in their defences

Saying nothing's there

In the air

In the air behind me is a tail

I can feel it here

Where it comes from is a mystery

Just that much is clear

Sensation point right here behind me

Empty space to other people

Who would likely shake their heads and tell me I'm not right in mine

Even though I'm feeling fine

With my tail right there

In the air

Long ago I wished I had a tail

Wished it very much

You may say where wishes were concerned

I was out of touch

But it was what I wanted deeply

For silly whimsy, nothing creepy

Through hours spent in contemplation

Wistful with imagination

My nervous system found a way to

Grow a tail down there

In the air

Life would be quite different with a tail

Whether thick or thin

It would take some creativity to make the best of it

And if tomorrow we all had them

Would they come with stripes or spots

And would they be prehensile

So that we could hold a sandwich

Or perhaps a glass of cold ginger beer

With our tail right there

In the air

One day I should I wake up with a tail

Grown in overnight

I'll take some analgesics for the pain

If I didn't sleep on it right

Then sew some tailholes in my trousers

Try my best to not get trapped in sliding doors that slyly close

Or turn around too quickly, should I belt some unsuspecting person

Lacking derri?re

Savoir-faire

Meditations on the human tail

Lead me back to now

Contemplating what this feeling means

What to think about

This strange sensation at the place

My sacrum ends and turns into my all-too-human tailbone

I guess I'll never really know

Nor have more than this song to show
