Prodding in the dark for affection, | |
Night will hide sleepy woes | |
Hazel hair sleek as an otter’s | |
Amphibious creature, friend or foe | |
Gave him a book on Freud’s lectures, | |
Only book he read, ‘least that’s what he said, | |
‘Don’t deny erotic pleasure’ | |
Page well-thumbed, found the line he needed | |
Freud never got to beloved Egypt | |
Fled the Nazis, not his fears, | |
They say the longest river there | |
Is denial.. | |
I’m prodding in the dark for affection, | |
Night reveals sleepy woes | |
Hazel hair sleek as an otter’s | |
Ambiguous creature, friend or foe | |
Tried to twist it into hope, | |
But something snapped, somebody broke, | |
Shielded by your guilty cloak, | |
Too little too late, the demon spoke. | |
Freud never got to beloved Egypt | |
Fled the Nazis, not his fears, | |
They say the longest river there | |
Is denial, is denial | |
We’re all swimming in that river, | |
I would oft’ come up for air | |
Lately my lungs have expanded | |
That, or I’ve developed gills | |
To swim in this river, | |
I would oft’ come up for air, | |
But lately my lungs, they keep expanding | |
That, or I’ve developed gills.. |
Prodding in the dark for affection, | |
Night will hide sleepy woes | |
Hazel hair sleek as an otter' s | |
Amphibious creature, friend or foe | |
Gave him a book on Freud' s lectures, | |
Only book he read, ' least that' s what he said, | |
' Don' t deny erotic pleasure' | |

I' m prodding in the dark for affection, | |
