lyrics

So have you finished yet?
you couldn't know where you stand between me and my land, I’ll bet.
I make the seafloor my face
and trace the lines that go around your segregated lands
no man is an island
for I AM THE SAND.

I squeeze right through the fingers of
your silly colored tongues
as your crushed between the thighs of dollars
you deem golden as the faiths you’ve rung

and you say you’ve read all the books
you’ve heard the stories, questioned the scholars
and you went off looking for the Green Man
but all you found was me.

I AM THE SAND GIRL.
Yet you do not worship me...
Am I not worth worshipping?

For as all of us should be and always
for if not for us, what would your world be?

I see that YESSAND's slipped away
but will he stay behind me long
I doubt he'll last much further than
his own self-owned song

Cry your tears of confetti into
the mouths of your crustaceans
buried deep within
my sprawling skin
in rolling constellations

I estimate you’ll appropriate
all the ways in which you’ll die

art in motion
lying rest
deep within my nests

and you justify your boundless rage
by the lives you’ve lived in someone else’s cage
and you search for your words in your holy book
but find that I’m on every page

I AM THE SAND GIRL.
Yet you do not worship me...
Am I not worth worshipping?

For as all of us should be and always
for if not for us, what would your world be?

So long now, got to go, I’m off to find a family
I’ve had enough of this old rock anyway
