The Crab / Waterbaby

Around the cove, walking, that’s where I found him

Upside down in the leaving tide

Spun out and prone, the crab lay there reaching

Casting off his hardened shell

I said dude, I think I know how you’re feeling

You know it’s plain for all to see

You cannot help but speak about it

It’s our insides and now

We're translucent, see

Goddamn permeable

We're translucent, see

Goddamn permeable

I need a ceremony

I need a ritual

I need a ceremony

I need a ritual

I returned my friend, the right way

He took off with a sideways glance

So glad to meet you, waterbaby

Now, let's go, give this day a chance

We're translucent, see

Goddamn permeable

We're translucent, see

Goddamn permeable

I need a ceremony

I need a ritual

I need a ceremony

I need a ritual

I need a ceremony

I need a ritual
