Kito Peters: Music
Flood Tide
(Kito Peters)
FLOOD TIDE
cattle prod to your spirit
her jolt makes you sing to survive
but don’t fall in love with that dark muse
the crackle could burn you alive
something about her cuts right through you
pierces your chest like a knife
you’re holding out for some more of that
til it takes over your life
the current claims you sweeps you away
you’re a cork on a flood tide today
cattle prod to your spirit
you know it’s breaking you down
just like a rat who’s all hooked up
synapses going to town
all you got is the fever
highpitched unstable sound
lightning and thunder and static
with nothing that touches the ground
the current claims you sweeps you away
you’re a cork on a flood tide today
cattle prod to your spirit
simmering in the juice
pop pop go the embers
til something cuts you loose
the current claims you sweeps you away
you’re a cork on a flood tide today
on a flood tide
on a flood tide
