Underwater Explosions

Guided By Voices


while she was down and she opened 
crate of secrets 
darker than she 
underwater explosions 
curtains rippling obviously

she can breathe 
so stop and try 
she can breathe 
and the sharks are about to please 
she points to me 

to exist
in a place this small 
and it stings 
and certainly that changes things 
she points to me

cuffs painted orange with sunburst 
lined up side by side 
it keeps them so clean 
buddy they shine with starlight 
darker places I've never seen

she can breathe 
so stop and try 
she can breathe 
and the sharks are about to please 
she points to me 

to exist
in a place this small 
and it stings 
and certainly that changes things 
she points to me 
something passes through me 

and the sound will carry me on 
and the sound will carry you on
