For the Pier (And Dead Shimmering)
Sunset Rubdown

I----I pushed off the piernInfinity run coldnAnd filled up my earsnThere’s the weapon you hold;nThere’s the thing that you hold it tonAnd the thing you hold dear.nnOh the speed of a yearnIt runs the wood drynAnd water unclearnThere’s the thing you hold high;nThere’s the thing that you hold it tonAnd the thing you hold dear.nnI will be an enemy to men seen in the light!nDo you think it’s all right?nYes I think it’s all right!nIt’s all right!nnIf you make the wavesnThe sun makes the raysnThe speed of the lightnCan be trusted to preynTo prey on the foolsnThat pushed off your piernThe whirling of pools runs clearnnDa-da-da-dum…nnSo I’ll be out till the shivering diesnI said I’ll be out till the shivering diesnIt’s the reigning of the predatory nature of the skynAnd the raining sound it makes when it’s burning out your eyesnIt’s all right. IT IS ALL RIGHT!nnIt’s the speed of the lightnIt’s the speed of a yearnIt’s the weapon you hold,nAnd the thing you hold dear.nOH my dear, oh my dearnIt’s infinity’s time to shine all yearnIf you make the wavesnThe sun makes the raysnThe speed of the lightnCan be trusted to preynTo prey on the foolsnThat pushed off your piernThe whirling of pools runs clearnnDa-da-da-dum…nnThe rocking of boats and the making of mirrorsnThe whirling of pools running clear.nnDa-da-da-dum…nnI heard them say, “put the weapon away”.nIt’s the thing you know and they’re taking it awaynI knownBut I’ll find a waynI’ll find a way to let you tear the thing GO!nnBum….bum…ba-da-dum…nnIf you make the wavesnThe sun makes the raysnThe speed of the lightnCan be trusted to preynTo prey on the foolsnThat pushed off your piernThe whirling of pools runs clearnnDa-da-da-dum…nnThe rocking of boats and the making of mirrorsnThe whirling of pools running clear.
