Scum

In some forgettable lie

we crawled across the borderline

we kissed the enemy until

our thought had traveled out of time

you couldn't have heard me speak

there was so it did seem I say

a fog so heavy that

I could not tell if it was night or day

Hand over all water

you know that means business, scum

Under the stone we find the scum

Under the stars we find the scum

I thought a beautiful thing

a fire was lit within my mind

only the hummingbird wings

went shivering up and down my spine

the water that cleared our thirst

was not from earthly vineyards mined

and then we drunkenly sailed the gutters

of our invisible shrine

Hand over all water

you know that means business, scum

Under the stone we find the scum

Under the stars we find the scum
