The Eel

[Verse 1]

She must have swam alone

There were times we went together

She didn't flinch at the weeds or bike wheels hidden in the silk

She'd float out over in [?]

Although I'd go there with her

I'd sit on the bank as she tried to tempt me in

[Verse 2]

The cuts from the gravel

The police went on to ask

The scrapes on her knees and on her stomach and her wrists

She told me clumsiness

I traced somеone to [?]

Mapped out like watеrways to bless her

[?] like love-bites, never wanted to scratch her

[Verse 3]

And I knew shed have been blackout drunk

And I told them she was renowned for it

Before I'd even found her crawling or passed out near that river twice

Maybe spiked so many times I drove her back and she'd sunk down upon my shoulder

I felt dead

She could've swallowed me up

[Chorus]

[?]

[Verse 4]

They catch eels there with all sorts

In those parts most of the time I'd stay on the bank

But she'd swing over it when she was drunk

I said it felt dangerous

She'd pull up on off her dress

But swimming she seemed silver and pearly, spiny, slippy but wanting it

Oh fuck

[Chorus]
