Tropical Flesh Mandala

Lying out there on the beach
Was a pleasant growth
In the reach of me and you
In the reach of both
Tropical flesh mandala
Tropical flesh mandala
Floating in a moist exotic pool
Feeling so good-natured I could drool
So I took a photograph
So there'd be no doubt
When I got the pictures back
None of them came out
Tropical flesh mandala
Tropical flesh mandala
Underneath your ribcage and your skin
Honey, there's a new way to get in
It was covered in pink scales
Lots of tiny feathers
Valves that opened up and closed
Very tight together
Tropical flesh mandala
Tropical flesh mandala
On the night the creature came ashore
Someone told Joanna what they're for
