Hospital Bed

We spread our blankets over the lake
A bee died in the yard
I tried to leave
But you held my arms and head in the lake

So, I grab on hold to the spider's neck
And ride out of town
Because I'm sick and the days are long

I tried, and I tried
To squeeze the blue out of the sky
The yellow out of the sun

And that big invisible boulder
You keep on your shoulders
With the time we'll make it into sand
A grain you'll keep in your hand

Like a rabbit in a human skin coat
You'll dance on the yard
Like a wolf flipping good-bye notes
You'll howl at the sky

So, show your cat teeth to the lion
And grab onto his main vein
