She she she she only ever ver ver ver ver
Walks to to count count her steps
Eighteen teen strides and she stops to abide
By the law that she herself has set

That eighteen steps is one complete set
And before the next nine right and nine left
She looks up up at the blue
And whispers to all of the above

Don't let me drown, don't breathe alone
No kicks no pangs no broken bones
Never let me sink
Always feel at home

No sticks no shanks and no stones
Never leave it too late
Always enjoy the taste
Of the great great great grey world of hearts

As all dogs everywhere bark bark bark bark
It's worth knowing
Like all good fruit
The balance of life is in the ripe and ruined
