THE INSEMINATION DANCE
WORDS & MUSIC: Earl P. Reinhalter
I. have you seen the sons of lonely girls?
like snow at winter's end,
small and turning grey,
they thaw and melt away.
CHORUS A: we are the survivors,
the descendants of Don Juan.
crawling into puberty
at birth, we stumble on
to populate the earth.
II. daughters of asylum wave and sink.
beyond a foreign lake,
convent babies hide
like a Friday steak.
(repeat chorus A)
BRIDGE: he feigns romance,
she fakes bonfires.
the insemination dance,
the insemination dance,
the insemination dance
is performed by liars.
III. rooftops reach above the waterline.
naked surfers fall.
lifeguards hit the brine,
founder and withdraw.
CHORUS B: we're drowning in hormones
from our ma and pa,
from Eve and Adam
after the fall.
animals turned human,
now the humans learn to crawl.
and judges
burn the law.
(repeat bridge)
