Shell Shock Venus - Michael Hedges[00:00:00]
Written by:Michael Hedges[00:00:00]
Shell shock venus aborted at sea[00:00:27]
Her youthful uniform torn open and free[00:00:37]
Floating where the whirlpools swirl[00:00:49]
Men came diving for her pearl[00:00:54]
They'd scour her surfaces[00:01:07]
She'd dredge up their deep[00:01:12]
In a chaotic universe shallow and sweet[00:01:17]
And as the merman hurled[00:01:28]
Woman went careening from the girl[00:01:33]
And no line of questioning[00:01:42]
Could penetrate her nerve[00:01:47]
But something was tapping her reserve[00:01:52]
Ashes of innocence splinters of dreams[00:02:16]
Her anger in residence ripping the seams[00:02:26]
And petrifying fast[00:02:38]
She anchored to that mast[00:02:43]
Through waves of ecstasy[00:02:51]
They'd compromise[00:02:57]
But something was vacant in her eyes[00:03:02]
Reptiles in water a goddess in heat[00:03:28]
We dreamt of a daughter venus and me[00:03:38]
Floating where the whirlpools swirl[00:03:50]
Men came diving for her pearl[00:03:55]
