> Backwater
> We're sailing at the edges of time
> Backwater
> We're drifting at the waterline
> Oh we're floating in the coastal waters
> You and me and the porter's daughters
> Ooh what you do not a sausage can do
> And the shorter of the porter's daughters
> Dips her hand in the deadly waters
> Ooh what to do in a tiny canoe
> Black water
> There were six of us but now we are five
> We're all talking
> To keep the conversation alive
> There was a senator from Ecuador
> Who talked about a meteor
> That crashed on a hill in the South of Peru
> And was found by a conquistador
> Who took it to the Emperor
> And he passed it on to a Turkish Guru.
> His daughter
> Was slated for becoming divine
> He taught her
> He taught her how to split and define
> But if you study the logistics
> And heuristics of the mystics
> You will find that their minds rarely groove in a line
> So it's much more realistic
> To abandon such ballistics
> And resign to be trapped on a leaf in a vine.Honestly I didn't know. thanks Sigismund for that.
