Farewell Song for the Bodily Arctic

from Gone for the Ghostward Skeptic by Call Hollow

/

lyrics

Europa's rising over the starboard
the Weddell seals sing a goodwill song
I'd rather be where I know just where the sun is
and there's no question of whether I belong

I've sung too much of the bodily arctic
and now I'm gone for the ghostward skeptic
I've sung too much of the bodily arctic
and now I'm going ghostward

when one is in the barn counting stillborn hatchlings
and one is cramming 99 men in the casket
when strike-anywhere stars burn like wicker baskets
I'll be bent to the alter with a sail and a sextant
when the ALF hits up the Rikers cages
and we lose our shirts cuz we're chasing the aces
when it's gone to the dogs and the dogs go to blazes
I'll be bent to the alter with a sail and a sextant
when it's gone to the dogs and the dogs go to blazes
I'll be bent to the altar with a sail and a sextant

now I'm gone for the ghostward skeptic
I've sung too much of the bodily arctic
and now I'm going ghostward
