The Squirming Coil
The Squirming Coil of sunset
I keep within my reach
Tried yesterday to get away
and hitchhiked to the beach
I saw Satan on the beach
trying to catch a ray
He wasn't quite the speed of light
and the squirming coil
it got away....
The muscles flex the mother's ring
She fastens children to her king
and sends him down the crooked street
When he returns, the birth's complete
Jimmy holds the Tannis root
The forest's tasty nectar shoot
The sun tips off the monarch's suit
from sequined sash to shiny boot
"I'd like to lick the coil some day
Like Icarus, who had to pay
with melting wax and feathers brown
He tasted it on his way down"
Stun the puppy!
Burn the whale!
Bark a scruff and go to jail!
Forge the coin and lick the stamp!
Little Jimmy's off to camp
We recommend: Degradation

Don't want to face it but I know that it's time to go home
I cannot say what I want to say when we're alone
I've got to leave but I want to stay
Where you are is so far from the U.S. of A.
When we're more than half a world away
It's so hard to be in love with you
Operator, International 011, oh
Put your love on the line, put your ear to the phone
Maybe it's no longer than a night and a day
But where you are is so far from the U.S. of A.
And it ain't so easy, easy on the

I've got to leave but I want to stay
Where you are is so far from the U.S. of A.
When we're more than half a world away
It's so hard to be in love with you
