Old Snail Shell, Dime, Nickel and Nail Lyrics by Jellyfish Brigade

Diving Lessons

2014

Old Snail Shell, Dime, Nickel and Nail
3 cheers, 4 truths, 5 sips from the grail
Yeah, songbird silky, Tommy Bombadilly real
Self-actualized and aware of my Achilles heels
Lilly fields and black clouds, Tut tut
We unplugged from the buzz, hushing the fuss up
Punch drunk and in love, summon the blood rush
Uncut wondrous lands, no one but just us
Into the light, into the light
Flesh and bone feeds the earth’s appetite
Spend the afterlife in the dark of the night
Makes sense to me but I hope I ain’t right
Old snail shell, dime, nickel and nail
3 ghosts, 4 ways, 5 swigs of the ale
Yeah I’m dragon fly fickle with a satellite’s twinkle
Navigating by the glimmers of a candlelight vigil
I don’t wanna leave the labyrinth
That’s why I throw away the keys to all the secret passages
Zen specialist focused on recent happenings
But now you got me thinking bout what’s scheming on me after this
Old snail Shell, Dime, Nickel and Nail
3 wishes, 4 elements, 5 different tales
Well, I believe in magic, spaceships and fairy dust
But think we fade black when disease or time buries us
Cherry blushed naked flesh, sovereign and gentle
A far cry from the god we should resemble
When I go, don’t lay me in the mausoleum temple
Place me ‘neath the stars and the rocks up in the meadow
So my remains can nourish all the flowers and their petals
You told me souls are passengers, and bodies are just vessels
And when we’re done we travel through the cosmos to a special
Place, well if that’s the case then we should probably just let go
I ain’t for it, there’s too much of me to be still
So be still, and sneak the reasoning into our free will
We build and burn, simple children turned to grownups
Questioning our morphing selves until the earth can own us
So, Please, be here with me, silent and aware
Motionless and soaking up the vibe that’s in the air
Staring out upon the river and the vast gorge
Frozen in the moment, this is all that we can ask for
