Lot's Wife's Dreaming
Sometimes I'm salt again
Sometimes the wind feels like a man
I didn't say yes to
The world breaks down into minerals
The blood volume of every blooded body
Controlled by the minerals
The question to the men at sea
Always the minerals
And the sea is just a future desert
And the body's just a future desert
The mermaid is taking sea water
In and out her mouth so she's already
Full of salt and made of salt
Sometimes I'm in the sea
Sometimes I am the sea
And I smash a ship and drown the men
Other times I'm sprinkled on a dish
Or added to the butter, with such restraint
