Shell Songtext
von As For the Future

This shell of a man
You picked up off the sand
Put his face to your ear
To see what you could hear
Some heavy breathing
Maybe a heart still beating
A voice that gives
You only expletives
This shell of a man
You picked up off the sand Took him back to your chair
To see what was there
His sailboat was rocked
Then he became landlocked
But now that you′ve found him
Can you teach him to swim?
Is he the last of his kind
Or is he easy to find?
Will he crawl away from you
Like sand creatures do?


Is he strange and ethereal
Or is he mating material?
Would you fall in love
If he asked you to
And let this shell of a man
Sing to you?
