Lyrics

Bat's Mouth

The caves of our mouths are forest darkness

And the air in between is overflowing

And the rushing wolverine flies past

His shiny, shiny teeth

And she is kind, he is free, full of knowing

She is sure

She is sure

The caves of our mouths are bear's bellies

And the air in between is spewing comets

And the dancing centaur queen flies past

Her tiny, tiny teeth

He is kind, she is free, and wants to show him

She is sure

She is sure

She is sure

She is sure

Find him in the bat's mouth

He is singing in her bat's mouth

He is shaking and dancing in her bat mouth

Getting tired and sleepy in her bat mouth

And she's holding him tight in her bat arms

She is wrapping him up in her bat arms

And she's thanking her mother sea

"Thank you mother sea for letting him see the sea in me"

She is sure

She is sure

She is sure

She is sure

She is sure

She is sure

She is sure

She is sure
