Pool beneath the pond
The skater shall beware
Touch the sand beyond
You'll be welcome here
Blink and miss the twist
The skater shall beware
Touch it and it slips
But you'll be welcome here

Dead lilies and pond skaters on our pond
This innocent slight tremble in your hand
Safe havens and close alleys and green smiles
This innocent no walks along dark aisles

The skater shall beware
Touch the sand beyond
You'll be welcome here
Blink and miss the twist
The skater shall beware
Touch it and it slips
But you'll be welcome here

Red stickleback with white teeth like small knives
Black beetle and dark tremble in it's smile
Dead lilies and pond skaters on our pond
This innocent slight tremble in your hand
