Some said the local lake had been enchanted
others said it must have been the weather
the neighbours were trying to keep it quiet
but I swear I could hear the laughter
so they jokingly nicknamed it the porridge
cause overnight that lake had turned as thick as butter
but the local kids would still go swimming, drinking
saying that to them it doesnÂ’t matter
the genius next door was bussing tables
wiping clean the ketchup bottle labels
getting high and mumbling german fables
didnÂ’t care as long as he was able
to strip his clothes off by the dumpsters
at night while everyone was sleeping
and to wade midway into that porridge
just him and the secret he was keeping
hold in your breath til you come back up in full
hold in your breath til you thought it through, you foolish child
in the morning the film crews start arriving
with coffee, donuts, and reporters
the kids were waking up hungover
the neighbours were starting up their cars
the garbagemen were emptying the dumpsters
atheists were praying full of sarcasm
and the genius next door was sleeping
dreaming that the antidote was orgasm
hold in your breath til you come back up in full
hold in your breath til you thought it through, you foolish child
