sperm

i stand under the line
pin my washing to the sky:
a blue rinse absorbing white
my eyes aching from the light

i wish that was me up there
and that i could go anywhere

my heart wants to go there as i speak

wherever you go
i hope that you find love
i hope that you find tenderness
i hope that you find someone
who, when you're low
helps you to undress...

if you knew of these dreams
you'd see beyond what seems
and you'd find me within reach
pushing sperm whales from a beach

i can't do this on my own
i feel them bleeding on the stones

and my heart wants to go there as i speak

wherever you are
i hope that you've found love
i hope that you've found happiness
i hope that you've found someone
who, when you're high
helps you to undress

i’m alive and the world is sound asleep, neons drown and the smell of the rain comes cheap
