Last night I watched the moon drink the tides
'Til a whale rose from the hole in the sea
She breathed in the clouds like an opium ride
Smiled, and devoured me
My flesh had melted when my mind awoke
To feel her tail tear open the sky
Fins punctured cities, bled sulfur and smoke
I wept as the last scream died
She spat my soul onto a planet of dust
My thoughts dissolved into the grain
Whale became woman, the sun gazed with lust
He took her, and fathered the rain
From this coupling my shell grew green
Rainforests sprung from my skin and soil
Mountains spawned cells, apes, and all in between
And I understood
I am this mortal coil
I am this mortal coil
