THE SEA MONSTER

The days are so frightening
My dreams are full of lightning
I just got in from fighting in the war
My very kind companions
Left me shellshocked and abandoned
When all their love and understanding
Went out the door

Come on, mama, save me
Come tell me I’m not crazy
When I say I’m seein’ sights that amaze me
I’ve never seen before
As we stood with hope subsidin’
And we looked to the horizon,
As the ol’ sea monster was risin’
From the ocean floor

We started out believin’
That the deal was square and even
Before all charity and reason went by the side
In the battle clash of visions
Hollow greed and cheap ambition
Left each one in the prison of their mind

Come on, mama, hold me
I remember what you told me
All about the people blind and lonely
And livin’ in a diamond mine
As our hearts were torn with pity
We looked to the town and to the city
And saw the ol’ sea monster risin’ swiftly
From the other side

There were strategies and ruses
False concern and bad excuses
There were banners, flags and nooses
Flyin’ in the wind
We were distracted and sedated
All our sins were elevated
And all that could’ve saved us
Was trampled in the sand

Come on mama, love me
With your love so far above me
Come flirt and turtledove me
To the end
As we try to find the sacred
And the courage to stay naked
As the ol’ sea monster comes shakin’,
Steppin’ to the shore again.
