Watch you sleep on a black towel in the sand In the foam of dead jellyfish and crushed beer cans Sucking flies in your mouth Then you breathe them out Just to suck them back in again I look at the stubble on your sunburned scalp Think about how it scratches on my neck and lips Wonder why you grew your hair out long And then you dyed it blonde Just to shave it all off again Huh! In the space between your teeth There's a doorway to the desert Where you breathe sandstorms to life Howling through broken mines And the hollows of sunbleached skulls You look up at me through the sun Tell me 'bout some dream you've just awoken from Yeah, where I died shirtless in the street Pants tangled 'round my feet Waving a bottle at you like a gun Yeah, huh! And your face is the same as when you found that picture of her in my desk All blonde locks and naked flesh Yeah, back then you didn't say a word Just chirped sad as a lost bird And then you dropped it back into the mess Huh! Your mouth open wide Just like your grandma's when she died And you sigh with a moan Breathing life into snakeskins and dried up bones Something washes up onto the beach Yeah, it's half-eaten, but it's still moving You reach out and grab my hand We watch it struggle in the sand And all the seagulls start to sing Yeah, huh!
