lyrics

I hear a thunder and fall
A split along the limb
The exquisite, exquisite, exquisite
Of the exquisite corpse

The Scientific Wonder Club:
They know the winds have changed
A warm, a warm a warm wind on the exquisite corpse

It’s not done
It looks bad
We all are cells, solemnly aware
Our makers don’t care

Calculate the air we breath
Come to realize we need
Exquisite exquisite exquisite sky in baby bluish mouthfuls
And blood awash the valley
And blood awash the air
I stare I stare I stare I do
‘cause it is in my veins too

It’s too far
I can’t reach
We all are open mouthed
Gathered at the beach
As the waves sidle up the sand bar

This is the flesh of the land
I press my ear to the sand
I press my ear to hear
What the body commands

The white windy poles
They are like to palms
With gripping fingers slipping slipping
So she was never dead, only sleeping…

So these hands
Which held fast
So these hands melt
Anchored to the past
As the sea sidles up the sand bar

We cut the body in half
We crack the stomach in two
Inside butterflies flicker and flew flicker and flew

We are a boy child
Who wants to see what’s inside?
I sunk me down to the pitch depths of the sea
‘Cause I thought the sea was still wild
(repeat)
