Lovesong for Marine Evolution

from The Three Undersea EP by Lou Laurence

/

lyrics

An octopus don’t need to write a lovesong,
she pours her body where she should
and if I could fit myself between spaces
maybe all this skin would feel good.

An octopus knows a good billow
they make the water look like air
and if I could just control my elements
maybe I’d feel good anywhere.

You know undersea they don’t have lilacs
you know they don’t have talk just for talk
you know they don’t have the fine wine we can find up here.

You know the dolphin is quite sexually experimental
they can have fun in all kinds of non-procreative ways
and if I could use my ears to find love
maybe I could have some fun in the waves.

And they can slow their own hearts’ rhythms
when the sea is getting too deep
if I could slow my own hearts system
maybe I could syncopate with someone else’s beat

You know they’ll never know winter fires
you know they’ll never know a blanket that’s shared
you know they’ll never hear the kind of songs that dance through us.

Let’s run from the prairies
let’s make love on a ferry
let’s climb the highest tree
let’s dance undersea
let’s walk like a starfish
let’s fuckin’ talk like a crabfish
let’s be landlubbers and deep sea lovers
let’s run away
let’s love love love
