Swimming in the Longest River

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.
