Vanka

from Ice Eaters by Matt Oleksa

lyrics

Vanka got a boat out on Greasy Lake
He smokes cheroots and the moon is an ice cream cake
And in the wish it takes to blow it out
Splish-splash goes a rainbow trout

Here where—forming slow
Claws of current grow
Up to pull you below
Scream a lot
Scream a lot
Go
Go

Vanka got a boat out on Greasy Lake
He drinks blood orange juice and the moon is a second take
Action cuts the anchor rope
And fog rolls in on a flying Dutch-boat

Here where—forming slow
Claws of current grow
Up to pull you below
Scream a lot
Scream a lot
Go
Go

With every tick tock of the cuckoo clock
An angel, they say, drops a rock
Silver and gold between his toes
Cold, but that’s how it goes

Here where—forming slow
Claws of current grow
Up to pull you below
Go on, scream a lot
Go on, scream a lot
Go
Go
