Lyrics
She she she she only ever ver ver ver ver ,
Walk to to count count her steps,
Eighteen teen strides and she stops to abide
By the law that she herself has set.
That eighten steps is one complete set,
And before the next nine right and nine left.
She looks up up at the blueeeeeee,
And whispers to all of the above.

Don't let me drown, don't breathe alone,
No kicks no pangs no broken bones.
Never let me sink,
Always feel at home,
No sticks no shanks and no stones.
Never leave it too late,
Always enjoy the taste,
Of the great great great grey world of hearts.
As all dogs everywhere bark bark bark bark
It's worth knowing,
Like all good fruit, the balance of life is in
The ripe, and ruined.
