Animals Of Prey

We go down like moles

Claws dig an endless hole

We descend on fours,

Our snouts lead us on

We fall down without notes

And so we build a barren moat

Work through the night, our eyes opaque

Our fingers cold, kisses in rain

We fall down in pairs,

Moles locked in a blind stare

Your pearly mouth, it cracks a smile

Without a sound, the blind lead blind

We the animals of prey have become cannibals untamed

Under the stars the moles go far into the earth like a sinking stone

We ascend as swans

Glide through blue waters calm

Exhausted head, it falls asleep

Under a rock, after the dig

We wake up as swans

Songs sung for no one

Left in the night, the moles asleep

Forgotten prey, dead rodent stink

We get up as swans

Big bird in a small pond

Our eyes are smiles, our fingers cold

Our lips are frowns, our toes have mold

We the animals of prey have become cannibals untamed

Dug in the night, we use our spit and make a moat where we play dead

We the animals of prey have become cannibals untamed

Dug in the night, we use our spit and make a moat where we play dead

(We play dead...)
