The Squirming Coil

~From: Eric Berman (ericbe@microsoft.com)

G

The Squirming Coil of sunset

F

I keep within my reach

C

Tried yesterday to get away

G

and hitchhiked to the beach

G

I saw Satan on the beach

F

trying to catch a ray

C

He wasn't quite the speed of light

G

and the squirming coil

Fmaj7 C G

it got away.... It got away (4x)

Bb

The muscles flex the mother's ring

Fm7

She fastens children to her king

Bb

and sends him down the crooked street

Fm7

When he returns, the birth's complete

Bb

Jimmy holds the Tannis root

Fm7

The forest's tasty nectar shoot

Bb

The sun tips off the monarch's suit

Fm7

from sequined sash to shiny boot

Bbm

"I'd like to lick the coil some day

Gb

Like Iccarus, who had to pay

Ab

with melting wax and feathers brown

Bbm

He tasted it on his way down"

Stun the puppy!

Burn the whale!

Gb

Bark a scruff and go to jail!

Ab

Forge the coin and lick the stamp!

Bb

Little Jimmy's off to camp

Cm7 Ab Bbm Gb Abm
