Diseased heat   August on the 101   Let me up   The pale moon   Offers no consolations   Would you let me up?   Mosquitos fat with our marrow   Ebb and flow through the gumbo   This humid bouillon a cesspool   Stop   Won't someone please let me up?   We're buoyed in   Atop the mercury   Let me up   We're the salt of the earth   From a cell of the surf, this universe   Well let me up   Let me up   (Why won't you let me up?)      I once had gills but they closed up   Had webbed feet but they dried up   Still have lungs but they're sewn up   Stop   Stop   Won't someone just let me up?   Oh   We don't exist   In an instant   Let me up   There's a hole in the floor   As black as my momma's womb   Those were the days   Won't you let me up?   I can't stop thinking of the time   I was swallowed in the brine   Won't you let me up?   Let me up   Mama, the planet is a placenta   Pull the plug   Let the heavens rise above   Won't you let me up?   Let me up   Let me up   Let me up   Let me up   Let me up   I can't stop dreaming of the day   I got swallowed into space   Let me up   Let me up   Let me up   Let me up   Let me up   I'm drowning in the egg   Let me up
