[Verse 1]
The course of the creek often takes me
To float from the fringes
From the heat
But sometimes it works to grease the hinges
To free the eel-like thing
From where it's taken to nestle within me
All slither, voltage, electricity
So that I must sit, sleep, eat with the beast
Until it's seen, sated, feasted
Only when I get to the gravel, the grit, the pit of it
[Chorus]
Does it seep out of me
Like a selkie from a green sea?
Does it seep out of me
Like a selkie from a green sea?
[Verse 2]
Until it goes, you must know
How it moves, how it grows
As you don't know, until it goes
I'll tell you
How it moves, how it grows
How I walk with it
Perched on my shoulder
A feathered thing
How it's talons grip
Tight
Gleaming
[Bridge]
How I get it from my body, from my blood, from my bones
Like a stone it won’t draw
It draws slow
[Chorus]
And then seeps out of me
Like a selkie from a green sea?
And then seeps out of me
Like a selkie from a green sea?
The course of the creek often takes me
To float from the fringes
From the heat
But sometimes it works to grease the hinges
To free the eel-like thing
From where it's taken to nestle within me
All slither, voltage, electricity
So that I must sit, sleep, eat with the beast
Until it's seen, sated, feasted
Only when I get to the gravel, the grit, the pit of it
[Chorus]
Does it seep out of me
Like a selkie from a green sea?
Does it seep out of me
Like a selkie from a green sea?
[Verse 2]
Until it goes, you must know
How it moves, how it grows
As you don't know, until it goes
I'll tell you
How it moves, how it grows
How I walk with it
Perched on my shoulder
A feathered thing
How it's talons grip
Tight
Gleaming
[Bridge]
How I get it from my body, from my blood, from my bones
Like a stone it won’t draw
It draws slow
[Chorus]
And then seeps out of me
Like a selkie from a green sea?
And then seeps out of me
Like a selkie from a green sea?
