Carry For You

if you look at the mask all day

that old mask will slip away

what is left is gristle and meat

arteries carry blood so sweet

veins and capillaries too

carry that blood, carry for you

if you listen to the submarine

you will hear an ocean dream

swimming in the open sea

just enough air for you and me

oxygen must go to the lungs

climb that tower of broken rungs

who are you?

who are you?

let me give you a clue:

you're katmandu

if you walk into the great beyond

you will skip across the pond

if you dive for a talisman

hold on tight and fight the hand

slowly let the bubbles rise

they will burst into the sky

swim like a tourist and a matador

flash your cape at the country store

who are you?

who are you?

let me give you a clue:

you're katmandu

if you look at the mask all day

that old mask will slip away

what is left is gristle and meat

arteries carry blood so sweet

veins and capillaries too

carry that blood, carry for you

if you listen to the submarine

you will hear an ocean dream

swimming in the open sea

just enough air for you and me

oxygen must go to the lungs

climb that tower of broken rungs

who are you?

who are you?

let me give you a clue:

you're katmandu
