Analysis of To squirm
Here in the seas of our absense
Oh how to appreciate
The bridge of my dreams
Not the same as it was!
Why´d you let me rattle off fatal
I would never let you
I would never hurt you
Leave me for dead like some slim convict.
For under your glare i´m thin
Yes thin coconut trunk to the fronds babe
Don´t exterminate me from from your mind
Enough balls to say I admire!
You´d see my corpse and not recognise
You´d be that girl about 11.00am sun rotting me like you did
