The Squirming Coil of sunset I keep within my reach Tried yesterday to get away And hitchhiked to the beach I saw Satan on the beach Trying to catch a ray He wasnt quite the speed of light And the squirming coil It got away.... The muscles flex the mothers ring She fastens children to her king And sends him down the crooked street When he returns, the births complete Jimmy holds the Tannis root The forests tasty nectar shoot The sun tips off the monarchs suit From sequined sash to shiny boot Id like to lick the coil some day Like Icarus, who had to pay With melting wax and feathers brown He tasted it on his way down Stun the puppy! Burn the whale! Bark a scruff and go to jail! Forge the coin and lick the stamp! Little Jimmys off to camp
