and potions and medicines yellow and blue to swallow
and take just one for relief, take two for more relief,
take them all for eternal relief, for bottles filled with passion
and heat to swallow so you will dance and fling back and forth
and sometimes after that night sigh you can get up and take something
from a bottle or box, feel that chalky pill catch in your mouth or the

this one repairs
this one ruins

warm skin
cold skin

waves and shells returning to salty hell but never tell.
