Swimming

I hate this locker room
Why won’t Susan answer my calls?
Sweat, wet, echo, smell, hell, rap
Pump up the volume, hot, wet, hot, sweat
How’s the water?
Stretch, stretch, spit in the mask
Cloudy vision, test the water
Contemplate the dive, the shock to the skin
Anticipate the pain, the pain, the pain, the pain, the pain, ah!
One, two, three, oh, bite the air
‘Cept there’s that girl
One, two, three, oh, bite the air
Smooth, soft skin
Two, three, oh, bite thе
13, long legs, brown skin, and wet hair
Oh-whoa-oh-oh-oh, and wet hair
Has Rosa еven listened to my tape?
Kick, stretch, windmill arm
See the hand, point the finger
Oh, wet hair, relax, this guy’s too slow
15, can I make it to 40?
Too slow, touch his heel, move!
Answer my calls, red thin stripe
50 feet, 60 feet
She looks like Susan
Susan’s beautiful
Out, don’t think
Out, out, let it out
Keep the shoulder down
Down, easy, not too hard
Find the movement so rigid
Hands numb
Shoulder numb, elbows numb
Lower, from the back, yes, lower
39, 40, center! Center!
Forward motion through the water (come to your senses)
They’re scared (come to your senses, come to your senses)
I am soaring, I’m the water (you’re on the air, you as the knight)
Escape (I’m on the ground, me as the queen)
