Last night I watched the moon drink the tides 'Til a whale rose from the hole in the sea She breathed in the clouds like an opium ride Smiled, and devoured me
My flesh had melted when my mind awoke To feel her tail tear open the sky Fins punctured cities, bled sulfur and smoke I wept as the last scream died
She spat my soul onto a planet of dust My thoughts dissolved into the grain Whale became woman, the sun gazed with lust He took her, and fathered the rain
From this coupling my shell grew green Rainforests sprung from my skin and soil Mountains spawned cells, apes, and all in between And I understood I am this mortal coil I am this mortal coil
