There is peace in the belly of the beast

There is no alarm in the least

For a thousand and one flashlights in one place

And the glow of the thousand TV waves



Out on the great green wash there's foam where spiders walk

And ride the tides to take them home to empty webs

And ride from the land of sky blue waters to the belly of the beast



There is a calm in the valley of the dogs

There is a light in the caves and in the bogs

For a thousand and one flashlights in one place

And the glow of the thousand TV waves

And the glow of the thousand TV waves

And the fires of each forgotten space
