Vertebrae By Vertebrae

Up on the toe

There is a view

Up on the toe

And the spine

Straight and erectHungry and curious

Up on the toe

Looking forward toThe air is thinner hereShe 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 spineVertebrae by vertebrae

Up on the toe, lookingI have been filled with

Steam for months, for years

Same old cloud

Claustrophobic in meLet it burst

Like old train sounds

Make them leave me, natureVertebrae by vertebrae

By vertebrae by vertebrae

By vertebraeMy 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 moonVertebrae by vertebraePlease release

This pressure off me

Please release

This pressure off mePlease

This pressure off me

Release

Let off some steam
