The Squirming Coil Lyrics
[Verse 1]
The squirming coil of sunset, I keep within my reach
Tried yesterday to get away and hitchhiked to the beach
I saw Satan on the beach, trying to catch a ray
He wasn't quite the speed of light, and the squirming coil
[Chorus]
It got away, yeah, it got away
It got away, yeah, it got away
It got away, yeah, it got away
[Instrumental Break]
[Bridge 1]
The muscles flex the mother's ring
They fasten children to their king
And send him down the crooked street
When he returns, the birth's complete
Jimmy holds the Tannis root
The forest's tasty nectar shoot
The sun tips off the monarch's suit
From sequined stash to shiny boot
[Bridge 2]
"I'd like to lick the coil some day
Like Icarus, who had to pay
With melting wax and feathers brown
He tasted it on his way down"
Stun the puppy, burn the whale
Bark a scruff and go to jail
Forge the coin and lick the stamp
Little Jimmy's off to camp
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
It got away, yeah, it got away
It got away, yeah, it got away
It got away, yeah, it got away
It got away, yeah
