Lyrics for The Sea Priestess
On the sea coast after that Egyptian Aztecs arriving from Norway They've been vanishing the woodwork for forty-four centuries Nature's naked acrobats bathed in blood There's a beach of prayer On the threshold of Purgatory And a giantess sea priestess beckoning past the fire Do not lose sight of the sea After washing myself in a bath of blood I had breakfast with a sea priestess Whose sibilant S's are stoking gas from the sea floor The sea priestess' face Are better than most Twenty-seven ex-soldiers at her house The sea priestess is a stoking gas The grass square roots is turned to gas Gas fired for a fire Power for a fire for joy If it goes any faster There'll be an extreme disaster If it goes any faster There'll be an extreme disaster We spent most of the time pissing It was a time When the earth was connected in some way But I've been introduced just to the body the day before I got awoken three times a night And asked to watch The players listening to the best parts of sea And watching the drift of our sight before Somehow I think the sort of creators of insanity And how it shows that I've been empty Point past signs here It's probably a lack of poor visibility Something special in the guesses That the rocks on the seashore make The men here are disappointed Like mummies Been out in the sun for thousands of years walking around Bored Stuff themselves with cauldron Another hour and hours I don't think we'll stay here long Soon as the ships have been re-built We'll be able to paint the sun Our ship has wrecked on the sea coast of Tibet The first thing we saw was several Egyptian Aztecs arriving from nowhere Here all nature is naked We were checking out their women's eyes and blood Over each way There's a beast of prey on the threshold of pleasure In a giantess Three priestess beckoning the past as well She adores them "Do not lose sight of the sea" She hisses "Do not lose sight of the sea"
