Bones and Ivy

Choke the moon
 Crush the sky
 Don't let life pass you by
 Summer storm
 Spring parade
 March along in this charade
 On a raft of bones and ivy
 I sailed the Mississipp'
 In a pool of boiling water
 I took myself a dip
 Lost at night
 In a maze of pine
 I begged the stars to make you mine
 The needles tore
 My aching back
 I tensed to meet the next attack
 On a raft of bones and ivy
 I sailed the Mississipp'
 In a pool of boiling water
 I took myself a dip
 When all life
 Is no more
 Listen to the silence roar
 Find a hole
 Twelve feet wide
 Curse your birth then crawl inside
 On a raft of bones and ivy
 I sailed the Mississipp'
 In a pool of boiling water
 I took myself a dip
 I took myself a dip
