Fish - Chocolate Frogs

The bloated corpses of unsolved murders and old revolutions
Pirouette and dance amongst the swirls and eddies
In their final procession down the muddy river
To the delta where they're thrown up
By the surf onto sterile beaches
Or are trapped in the roots of mangrove cathedrals
Of the islands that gather in the bay

These are the first arrivals on this new horizon
That will be coveted by strangers
Who will deposit themselves
On these shores to build towers to the heavens
The storm will come and the rains will fall
And remove their dreams and hopes once again
To the waters that surround them
And while they pray the frogs will chant in the darkness A heid full of chocolate frogs, a body full of rush
A pocketful of shrapnel and a skinfull of bush
An eyefull of the future and a belly full of the past
How beautiful the present when you know it cannae lsat

A tumblerful of voddie, two fingers in a glass
A handful of promises, a heart full of remorse
Mindful of your manners
When you're brought down to your knees
A heid full of chocolate frogs is all you gave to me
That's all you gave to me, that's all you gave to me

A spoonful of miracles a nostril
Full of dust a lung full of Virginia the needs we have we must
A pill to put your heart right a nose out
For a deal for a heid full of chocolate frogs
What can you give to me
What did you give to me
What did you give to me
What did you give to me
