1
The day I turned my back on all you people
2
I felt an itching in my thumbs
3
Salt air like a broadcast from the distant dark beyond
4
When my transformation comes
5
I went down to the warm warm water
6
Saw a pelican fly past
7
Waved once at the highway and then left all that behind me
8
I went wading through the grass
9
And no one was gonna come and get me
10
There wasn't anybody gonna know
11
Even though I leave a trail of burned things in my wake
12
Every single place I go
13
And it was cool and it was quiet
14
In the humid marsh down there
15
I let my head sink down beneath the brackish water
16
Felt it gumming up my hair
17
The sun was sinking into the Atlantic
18
The last time that I turned my back on you
19
I tried to summon up a little prayer as I went under
20
It was the best that I could do
21
And I said let them all fare better than your servant
22
The reeds all pricking at my skin
23
Here's hoping they have better luck than I had down here with you
24
All that water rushing in
