I’m not the light I’ve got the mud I’ve got the scale eyes asleep I’m in the Nile,
But into the mix a gaggle of hooves adrift in the river and how could I resist?
And roll from my sleep in the gloom of the sediment now I come hither,
A zebra’s asleep at the switch when it gets in the eyes of the crocodile slither,
So swim you must, the herd must cross but I move in beguiled,
And smile at some old joke passed down from the eras Paleozoic (ah-hahahahha!)
So deep within my lizard core the toads who contemplate snakes’ slither
We’ve been here in the bucket when you dropped in on crocodile, come hither!
But beat your wings at things you cannot reach, we’ve known all the while
that whales and pandas come and go but cold’s the blood reserved for fire!
I twist around in time and space to face the path of least resistance
so gather your rainbows and lollipops this world’s for crocodiles!
We can wait it out we’re rolling as you wither,
A zebra to pass the time unearthed for crocodiles,
We can wait it out we’re rolling as you wither,
A zebra passes time and I take a hither,
Crocodile, crocodile, crocodile, crocodile, crocodile, that’s why I smile,
Crocodile, crocodile, crocodile, crocodile, crocodile, that’s why I smile,
A joke from the Paleozoic, a giggle from the Jurassic,
A crocodile! Hahahahahahha!
Then up from the riverbank, skirt strength.
Playing it to the wrong speed, lip service to the right need,
Playing it at the wrong speed lip service to the wrong need,
Spinned erect in all direction,
lip service to the right connection,
spinned erect in the right Jurassic,
this world belongs to the crocodile.
Spinning into deflection unending infinite reflection
Roll away the stone, give it a smile,
Lip service to the rolled stone.
Hey, come hither!
I twist a knot in time and smile
I live among the crocodiles,
I put a pocket in the space and time and smile
Come hither if you walk, if you slither, oh!
