The Squirming Coil of sunset

I saw Satan on the beach

trying to catch a ray

He wasn't quite the speed of light

and the squirming coil
Fmaj7 C G
it got away.... It got away (4x)

Bb
The muscles flex the mother's ring
Fm7
She fastens children to her king
Bb
and sends him down the crooked street
Fm7
When he returns, the birth's complete
Bb
Jimmy holds the Tannis root
Fm7
The forest's tasty nectar shoot
Bb
The sun tips off the monarch's suit
Fm7
from sequined sash to shiny boot
Bbm
"I'd like to lick the coil some day
Gb
Like Iccarus, who had to pay
Ab
with melting wax and feathers brown
Bbm
He tasted it on his way down"
Stun the puppy!
Burn the whale!
Gb
Bark a scruff and go to jail!
Ab
Forge the coin and lick the stamp!
Bb
Little Jimmy's off to camp
Cm7 Ab Bbm Gb Abm
