Chlorine

Swimming in sunshine
Food on the table
Gentle bodies glowing gold and hazel
Chemical chlorine
Like an angel

You’ll be a great white
He’ll be a bank note
She’ll be fishing in a worn-out raincoat
Out in the boneyard
With the scapegoats

All I know
K-I-D’s ‘til the party’s over
I don’t want to go, let’s take it slow

Dip in the garden
Slippery grace notes
I just wanna be an opal rainbow
I don’t want fireworks
I want real life

Is it a good thing?
Or a bad dream?
I don’t want to seem like I’m all-knowing
Under the palm tree
In a blindfold

Smell of smoke
F-I-Gs in the courtyard burning
It’ll turn to coal before we go
Leaving brings it lumbering back
But all I know
K-I-D’s ‘til the party’s over
You’re a loving soul, let’s take it slow

Swimming in sunshine
Food on the table
Gentle bodies glowing gold and hazel
Chemical chlorine/Like an angel
