I know you had to lie to me.
I know you had to cheat.
To pose all hot and high behind the veils of sheer deceit.

Our perfect porn aristocrat, so elegant and cheap.
I'm old but I'm still into that. A thousand kisses deep.
Confined to sex we pressed against the limits of the sea.
I saw there were no oceans left for scavengers like me.

I swallow the ocean
I swallow the ocean
I swallow the ocean
I swallow the ocean

I made it to the forward deck. I blessed our remnant fleet.
…and then consented to be wrecked. A thousand kisses deep.
As if the ocean
had sunk before them:
they pass to
to their graves…
to their graves

I swallow the ocean
I swallow the ocean
I swallow the ocean
I swallow the ocean
I swallow the ocean
I swallow the ocean
I swallow the ocean
I swallow the ocean
