    A Worm's Life

D5                          G5         C5      G5
 When we met it was in the hot green jungle   
  D5                                G5        C5     G5
  Your perfect flesh impervious to anything fungal   
 D5               E5
 You would sweat coconut milk 
    C5                G5            D5
  And i'd lie awake, restless with the heat there in the  
E5
night 
 C5          G5
 Dawn would come  
  D5                    E5
  And I would start to feel my own sunrise  
    C5           G5   C5         G5
 but you'd just lie, sleeping    
And so we went away in search of gentler breezes  
When we arrived I longed to lie and rustle in your grasses 
But you would not permit me to retire there  
None but a fly might settle on the meadow of your leg 
Then we moved until we reached the tundra in the winter 
Of course I longed to kiss her frosty teeth in the cold air  
But now I'v grown bloated on seal fat  
Not even flies might settle on the meadow of her leg
