Blue Rack Myth

car seat for the captian
captian's hat for the first mate
the rubber-band-man
dives for a scup
the little tomboy on board reals one in
three times her own weight

while somewhere on another vessel
another little girl is watchin' her mom
fillet a blue untill the meat is all gone
and they both watch in awe
on that calm summer day
'cause as they threw back the rack
that dead fish just swam away

it swam away

twelve years later those same two little girls
find thimselves suspended together
in a sea of automated mechanized
fish filleters

one girl told the other
about the rack that swam away
the other listened in awe
and believed everything she had to say
untill

the captian told her
"mate there aint no way
fish need their meat to swim
seen it before
it just got caught in a wave and swayed

it did not swim

did it or didn't it
it's open to interpretation

even if it didn't
that fish was a message
and the little girl who passed it on
was the only one who gets it

we can still swim

so little girl you can be the new catptian
and i'll wear your captian's hat
watch the rubber band men
dive for scup
but we won't real 'em in
let 'em keep their meat intact
because

we can still swim
