Those who know how to swim are the ones who sink.

Welcome
To dance to spin
To feel within
To spin around
With wind and ground
To touch to heal
And to reveal
To muse to think
To swim and sink
To sink and swim again
Until there's no more pain
To chant to draw
To draft some more
To paint the body
Out of nobody
To write a spirit
Unwritten seal it
To sit and eat again and again
Until there's no more pain
To make it all a lifelong sum
Welcome

Swim Baby Swim
Swim baby swim through the waters blue
It’s the first thing a human can do
Swim honey swim the beauty surface strokes
Swim the deepest bottom glow
Swim the exists of the drop
Swim the serpent river curves
Swim the stillness of the lake
Swim the murmurs of the springs

It's a Fish's Life
Swim fish, swim! swim for your life!
The fisherman's coming you're tea for his wife!
Swim fish, swim! your fastest yet,
You must swim quickly, to avoid his big net!
Swim fish, swim! right out to sea!
For I am a shark waiting, and you're dinner for ME!

Yesterday's News
Well traveling to the point
That i can't stop it
Get so familiar
Never get enough
Talk about it all the time
Just drop it
Damage on your pretty little eyes says it all
I can't stand to be under your wing
I can't fly or sink or swim
It's a lot like falling down
Standing up, and i'm falling down
Your my cup (?) till i understand
Wait a minute and see the pieces don't fit this time
Well yesterday's news is what i have been reading
See you at the comet
And i end up needing
Know if you were thinking it could have been
It was nothing it's cause nothing's what you did
I can't stand to be under your wing
I can't fly or sink or swim
It's a lot like falling down
Standing up, and i'm falling down
Your my cup till i understand
Wait a minute and see the pieces don't fit this time
Well i can't stand to be under your wing
I can't fly or sink or swim
It's a lot like falling down
I'm standing up, falling down
Your my cup till i understand
Wait a minute and see the pieces don't fit this time

Ping One Down
We'll return to the ocean
Ride the tide again
Taste the water, jump right in
And try to swim
So ping one down
Let it sink
Sink on down
Like heavy metal
We should take off the lotion
Let the sun shine in
Admire the holes with shaded eyes
And fry again
And ping one down
Let it sink
Sink on down
Like heavy metal
Ping one down
Let it sink
Don't ponce around
Like poor old men
Colour clean
This sterile scene
Move as we please
No use in complaining
Purify now
Saints alive
We're all deprived
Be careful what you're saying
We've been on a safari
Just collecting skin
Head to toe in camouflage
But high again
So ping one down
And let it sink
Sink on down
Like heavy metal
Colour clean
This sterile scene
Move as we please
No use in complaining
Purify now
Saints alive
We're all deprived
Be careful what you're saying
Careful what you're saying
Careful what you're saying

Mr. Bellows
The president hes a pretty nice guy
Id like to take him out to dinner sometime
Drive around in his motorcade
Talk about those bills that aint been paid
And maybe later, on just for fun,
Well shoot off his submachine gun
Well shoot out the sky, shoot out the sea
Shoot out those dreams about you and me
Chorus:
Take my hand girl, i know where youve been
Up the flag ppole and back down again
Walk on water or sink or swim
When youre with me her majesty, the queen, is a pretty nice babe
And id like to take her down to st. petersburg someday
Hang around with her friends and old joe kennedy
After dinner i might give her a squeeze
Then well just see how blue her blood really is
And in the morning she can introduce me to her kids
Chorus:
Take my hand girl, i know where youve been
Up the flag ppole and back down again
Walk on water or sink or swim
When youre with me well our lord jesus he wants me to pray
So i do every single day
I donr know if i coming in very clear
But supposedly he can hear me from here
And sometimes he gives me a little relief
When im down here on my knees
But theres no redemption on judgement day
For people like you and me
Chorus:
Take my hand girl, i know where youve been
Up the flag pole and back down again
Walk on water or sink or swim
When youre with me

We All Stand Together
Win or lose, sink or swim
One thing is certain well never give in
Side by side, hand in hand
We all stand together
Play the game, fight the fight
But whats the point on a beautiful night?
Arm in arm, hand in hand
We all stand together
La-
Keeping us warm in the night
La la la la
Walk in the night
Youll get it right
Repeat
Win or lose, sink or swim
One thing is certain well never give in
Side by side, hand in hand
We all stand together

Sink into the Sea!
Our leaders don't swim;

Fish Out Of Water
You always said you were the compassionate one
But now you're laughing at the sun
With all your high class friends you think you've got it made
The only thing you made was that tanned look on your face
With all your cigarettes and fancy cars
You ain't a clue who or what you are
You're dreaming your life away
Fish out of water
Go swim in the tide today
Fish out of water
We used to sit and talk about primal scream
To exorsice our past was our adolescent dream
But now it's sink or swim since your memory fails
Now in Neptune's kitchen you will be food for killer whales
And on the crucifix his mother made
Hangs one more martyr to the hit parade
You're dreaming you're life away
Fish out of water
Go swim in the tide today
Fish out of water
You're dreaming you're life away
Fish out of water
Go swim in the tide today
Fish out of water

Breath Short Contractions Impelling
"to swim the exists of the drop/ to swim the serpent river curves"
is a swim most made when breath/ was short contractions impelling
bump made ripe ready impulses/ removed to milk infested waters

The Egg-Shell
The wind took off with the sunset--
The fog came up with the tide,
When the Witch of the North took an Egg-shell
With a little Blue Devil inside.
"Sink," she said, "or swim," she said,
"It's all you will get from me.
And that is the finish of him!" she said
And the Egg-shell went to sea.
The wind fell dead with the midnight--
The fog shut down like a sheet,
When the Witch of the North heard the Egg-shell
Feeling by hand for a fleet.
"Get!" she said, "or you're gone," she said.,
But the little Blue Devil said "No!
"The sights are just coming on," he said,
And he let the Whitehead go.
The wind got up with the morning--
The fog blew off with the rain,
When the Witch of the North saw the Egg-shell
And the little Blue Devil again.
"Did you swim?" she said. "Did you sink?" she said,
And the little Blue Devil replied:
"For myself I swam, but I think," he said,
"There's somebody sinking outside."

Youll Still Be Needing Me
If I had my way, I would say its over darling
If I could be brave, I would say Im leaving you
But I must stay on till all hope is gone
cause girl I know
Anywhere you go
Youll still be needing me
If you feel you cant make it on your own my darling
Ill be on your side when you cant find anyone
But for now lets try just to get by
Let the tide roll out
Let the tide roll in
Its time to sink or swim
La-la-la-la-la, lala-la-la-lalalala
La-la-la-la-la, lala-la-la-lalalala
If I could be strong, Id be gone tomorrow morning
Still I play the part making life a broken toy
But I must stay on
till all hope is gone
cause girl I know
Anywhere you go
Youll still be needing me
Let the tide roll out
Let the tide roll in
Its time to sink or swim
La-la-la-la-la, lala-la-la-lalalala
La-la-la-la-la, lala-la-la-lalalala

Moonlight Swim
(words & music by sylvia dee- ben weisman)
Lets go on a moonlight swim
Far away from the crowd
All alone upon the beach
Our lips and our arms
Close within each others reach
Will be on a moonlight swim
Lets go on a moonlight swim
To the raft we can race
After just a little while
Ill sit and pretend
That youre on a desert isle
With me on a moonlight swim
Though the air is cold
With kisses oh so sweet
Ill keep you warm
So very warm from head to you feet
Lets go on a moonlight swim
Were in love and above
Theres a crazy balloon
That sits winking down
And inviting us to come on in
On a moonlight swim

Smell The Stink!
sticks and stones,
Smith and Jones...
pedantic thoughts,
and mechanical arms.
broken shell, dipped in hell,
buy or sell, price foretells...
hearts dont beat,
safe from harm!
tried and true,
old and new...
bruises worn,
scars are touched.
me and you, dare to do,
only the few, coming to...
so take little,
give back much!
feel too much, too hard to think,
light a smoke, take a drink.
choice before us, swim or sink...
taste the hurt, smell the stink!
feed the hunger,
simple wonder.
mouths and feet,
in the street.
real and hope, grab the rope,
better than dope, dipped and soaked.
break the glass,
feel the heat!
feel too much, too hard to think,
light a smoke, take a drink.
choice before us, swim or sink...
taste the hurt, smell the stink!
