Ming the Clam Songtext
von Pearla

Well, I need to say this out loud, feel it rolling in my ribcage
I love you sipping honey beer and watching TV on a Tuesday
I′m not certain about much, but I'm certain how we touch
Is compelled by some great force other than us

And our sky was like a parachute, big and blue and beautiful
And we were just two insects climbing up metallic waterfalls
And I was keeling over from the shedding of my own wall
Reminder of my limitations

I soak myself in violet
I bloom in violet
I bloom in violet


I think about it all the time, what if you were to die?
A self-indulgent pondering, would I call your friends, or would I call mine?
I study all the little signs under fluorescent light
Ming the clam, the mystery of the sea, who lived beyond her time
Reminder of the grand creation

How did she keep on fighting?
How do you keep on fighting?
How do you keep on fighting?
How do you keep on fighting?
But she was gone before they found her out

At night, I hear you gasping
I rub peppermint on your chest
You vomit on the floor
I never loved you more
I never loved you more somehow
