Vertebrae By Vertebrae

Up on the toe

There is a view

Up on the toe

And the spine

Straight and erect

Hungry and curious

Up on the toe

Looking forward to

The air is thinner here

She came here to lose face

Got down on her knees

The beast is back on four legs

Set her clock to the moon

Raises her spine

Vertebrae by vertebrae

Up on the toe, looking

I have been filled with

Steam for months, for years

Same old cloud

Claustrophobic in me

Let it burst

Like old train sounds

Make them leave me, nature

Vertebrae by vertebrae

By vertebrae by vertebrae

By vertebrae

My arms ooze out of my shoulders

And the arms ooze out of my shoulders

I curl my tail inwards, inwards

Set my clock on the moon

Vertebrae by vertebrae

Please release

This pressure off me

Please release

This pressure off me

Please

This pressure off me

Release

Let off some steam
