Solid Gold

In this body of water, I dive deep in your arms And while I'm there, I crawl around and swim in your hair In this body of water, I slide between your calves Far beyond you where eels are electric blue Like a half forgotten dream I'm on the wrong side of the movie screen In this suburban ocean, with your chrome-plated fins I watch you climb towards a brighter part of sky In this suburban ocean, we both know we can't sink From down to dusk, we pretend that nothing hurts Flowers bloom across your skin I wonder when and where I became king My memories are meant to spin Quicker than lightning bolts Or a hail of stroboscopes God is pouring solid gold Whenever I Jive with my eyes closed Quicker than lightning bolts Or a hail of stroboscopes There's a giant fire swarm Whenever I Jive with my eyes closed In the glow of a full June, under the lilacs People speak in slow motion and on repeat In the glow of a full June, you build up a climax With holy shouts and hallelujahs in your mouth I'm impressed by how much this muscle bleeds My menstruating heart is meant to beat Quicker than lightning bolts Or a hail of stroboscopes God is pouring solid gold Whenever I Jive with my eyes closed Quicker than lightning bolts Or a hail of stroboscopes There's a giant fire swarm Whenever I Jive with my eyes closed Ah-ah Ah-ah Ah-ah
