Lyrics
Loomis
Loomis,
you were the oldest flesh
at first we didn’t know what to name you
animal or plant.
you stored ancient sunlight in your body
and brittle stars clung to your chest
it was 500 million years ago
that you first broke from the sand.
Do you still dream of how it was back then?
the water hot and thick with phosphorescence.
are you still waiting on that ordovician moon to rise?
and do you tremble with the thought of it?
I know the world has changed before
and it will change again
cause here on land...
we’ve all got big plans.
And soon all those technicolour arms that hold you
will be a mass of white scar tissue
at the bottom of the world.
It won’t be long now
until where the dust blows through these hills,
a new shining sea will form
once more.
