Pillowcase Sail Songtext
von McKinley

There′s a bad, bad place with no big blue sea
Where people like you and me go
We've been bad, bad, bad
Sister Big Shoe 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 a 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 a bleach bottle raft
The little craft kept steady
With meticulous hope and perfect weather

Of course she sailed off the edge of turtle world
But I know it didn′t hurt a bit
Better to be out of the reach of the curl
Of that crushing, smashing fist
Of that hushing, crashing fist

There′s a bad, bad place with no big blue sea
Where people like you and me go
'Cause we′ve been bad, bad, bad
Sister Big Shoe 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
