Testo Swim Thru Laura Hocking
Lets go away on a crappy little boat.We can use my scissors and some
string to bind the boards.
It will be suicide of course,
but Ive seen you stay
afloat through worse,
ive seen you
swim through
worse.
Youve been impeccable today,
swallowed all Ive said n lifted
leaden skies with your bare hands.
So if your reading leaves you on the rocks
And you detach
your retinas ill
keep them
in a
box for you.
And o god i heard you
saying that youll
never go to war.
You looked so resolute
i wanted you like
never before.
So lets build a catapult and aim it at some foreign place.
We could go to Monaco
it isnt very far.
And Id be intrigued to see the kind of cars they race,
So all aboard the
catapult and
i will
go first
just in case.
O god i heard you
saying that
you were panicking.
I said nothing cos
i know that you can
swim through anything.
Oo ill meet you down by the waterside
i just try to keep my own head dry
Oo oo ill wait for you at the waterside
ive seen your swan dive.
It suits you just fine
Lets go away on a crappy pair of skis.
Its all downhill from here
and i feel lost and unprepared.
But if youre not ill-at-ease, then im not scared;
best ride the avalanche
Before it defrosts
And o god i heard you
saying that youll
never go to war.
And if they call you up
Best look for you in the open water.
Oo ill meet you down by the waterside
i just try to keep my own head dry
Oo oo ill wait for you but the tide is rising
ive seen your swan dive.
It suits you just fine.
