Indestructible

Lyrics

He sank into the ragged green Water for the second time Rising naked with seaweed And a woman under each arm A mouthful of broken shells Standing trembling most unwell Indestructible Indestructible And unsinkable Floating away On the brandy brown waves The waves now rolling down the street The waves that lap about his feet Rehearsed salutes for all he meets Gentlemen arm is arm Gentleman with ladies Ladies walking in this city Where the restless drown Four Lost Souls… Know all the creatures in the sea will still be fishing Pull in their nets and drag us down In every doorway in the street they have been waiting Bait the traps in sparkling night Liquid bodies in pale light…. Indestructible etc Four Lost Souls All ablaze as they vanish down the stairway Into the bowels of the night Liquid bodies in pale light…..
