GRANDMA WENT TO ATHENS, ONCE

The sun’s sinking into the sea
It looks like the end of me
It’s burning up the sea
That sun it burned up me

Stupid little T-Shirt says I was here
Those waves are waving at me
Why can’t they let me be

The moon’s pulling out the tide
It’s pulling out my insides
That moon looks a little too wide
It’ll go out if I close my eyes
