Swimming in the Longest River

Prodding in the dark for affection

Night will hide sleepy woes

Hazel hair sleek as an otter's

Amphibious creature, friend or foe

Gave him a book on Freud's lectures

Only book he read, least that's what he said

Don't deny erotic pleasure

Page well-thumbed, found the line he needed

Freud never got to beloved Egypt

Fled the Nazis, not his fears

They say the longest river

Is denial, is denial

Is denial, is denial

We're all swimming in that river

I would oft' come up for air

Lately my lungs have expanded

That, or I've developed gills

I'm prodding in the dark for affection

Night reveals sleepy woes

Hazel hair sleek as an otter's

Ambiguous creature, friend or foe

Tried to twist it into hope

But something snapped, somebody broke

shielded by your guilty cloak

Too little too late, the demon spoke

Freud never got to beloved Egypt

Fled the Nazis, not his fears

They say the longest river

Is denial, is denial

Is denial, is denial

We're all swimming in that river

I would oft' come up for air

Lately my lungs have expanded

That, or I've developed gills

We're all swimming in that river

I would oft' come up for air

Lately my lungs have expanded

That, or I've developed gills
