DEAD MAN’S TEETH

‘Sink or Swim?’ by Zoolon

---

DEAD MAN’S TEETH

---

You’ve got the jump on life for once
You’ve got a head start just this time
Victory can taste sweet
If the victory’s not mine

---

You were a rabbit in the headlights
A lost soul out at sea
Staring at the abyss
Afraid of mystery

---

There’s a headstone in the graveyard
Sailor’s bones rotting underneath
They say the last bit to degrade
Are the dead man’s teeth

---

You’re swimming in salty water
Not drowning anymore
You hold your breath and dive again
You lose touch with the shore

---

You couldn’t face that yesterday
Thought tomorrow wasn’t real
Now you touch the starfish
No longer an ordeal

---

Once you sat upon the rocks
The oceans all you saw
The magic of the in between
Don’t matter anymore

---

There’s a headstone in the graveyard
Sailor’s bones rotting underneath
They say the last bit to degrade
Are the dead man’s teeth

---

You’re chasing the white horses
At the dizzy whirlpool’s end
Who you’ll meet at heaven’s gate
You guess won’t be a friend

---

You’re in uncharted waters
You’re journeying out to sea
Following the North Star
The curious mermaid – and maybe me – maybe me

---
