Mckinley - Pillowcase Sail lyrics

rate me

(McKinley)<br />

There's a bad, bad place with no big blue sea<br />

Where people like you and me go.<br />

Because we've been bad bad bad, Sister Big Shoes<br />

Says so. She's sure<br />

Of most things, but I'm sure I know<br />

A turtle holds the world on his back and Sister Black<br />

It's turtles all the way down.<br />

She says, "God hates to hear lie like that," but I think<br />

He likes a bedtime story. I think<br />

She likes a bedtime story.<br />

Gracie made a pillowcase sail, Huck Finned it down<br />

The sewer river in the bleach-bottle raft, little craft<br />

Kept steady with ridiculous faith and perfect weather.<br />

Of course, she sailed off the edge of the turtle world<br />

But I know it didn't hurt a bit.<br />

Better to be out of reach of the curl of that<br />

Crushing, smashing fist, of that<br />

Hushing, crashing fist.
