Pillowcase Sail Lyrics - Singles - Mckinley

(McKinley) 

There's a bad, bad place with no big blue sea 

where people like you and me go. 

Because we've been bad bad bad, Sister Big Shoes 

says so. She's sure 

of most things, but I'm sure I know 

a turtle holds the world on his back and Sister Black 

it's turtles all the way down. 

She says, "God hates to hear lie like that," but I think 

He likes a bedtime story. I think 

She likes a bedtime story. 

Gracie made a pillowcase sail, Huck Finned it down 

the sewer river in the bleach-bottle raft, little craft 

kept steady with ridiculous faith and perfect weather. 

Of course, she sailed off the edge of the turtle world 

but I know it didn't hurt a bit. 

Better to be out of reach of the curl of that 

crushing, smashing fist, of that 

hushing, crashing fist.
