lyrics

I don't want to agitate the waters
these beautiful swimmers
will be better off
without us

I climbed up on the blue crescent canyon
to watch beautiful swimmers
never one thing
never any other thing

orange clouds are forming
and mosquitos are swarming
I peel off the tape
from the nape of my neck
and I check for the marks
of the national parks
through terraces and monuments
I swear there's nothing wrong with us

Jesus, she begs
as she kicks out her legs
in a swirl of batons
and sing along car alarms
a churning that rivals
the Proud Mary's paddle wheel
after t hey're gone I wonder how that'll feel
nobody wants these haunted dens
to feel like battlefields again

I will watch the crow as she shimmers
like the beautiful swimmers
never one place
never any other place

read the best of the texts and primers
but these beautiful swimmers
in a lightning storm
