Your Shell of Grief

作詞 : Steven Sater

MOCK TURTLE: Just cry and it's a crisis

You sigh and put the "si" back in "silence"

My tortoise taught "don't pee in the sea"

Give into your grief like me

MOCK MOCK TURTLE: Don't bother with denial

Bereavement is the key to survival

That tortoise was my husband you see

Live and breathe your grief like me

ALICE: Mock me I'm living in shock here

My cheeks thick with tears

MOCK MOCK MOCK TURTLE: My heart is a dark polar block, dear

No one comes near

MOCK MOCK MOCK MOCK TURTLE: No loss could ever match mine

They weep the weep but I lost my Rabbi

My tortoise taught us Torah, you see

Meet yourself in grief like me

ALICE: Mock me I'm living in shock here

Such pearls are my tears

MOCK MOCK MOCK TURTLE: My heart is a mock Loch Ness Monster

ALICE & MOCK MOCK MOCK TURTLE: Just don't come near

MOCK MOCK TURTLE: My life has lost all porpoise

ALICE: I lost my hare

MOCK MOCK TURTLE: I lost my hair

MOCK TURTLE: I lost my tortoise

So, so, I sing King Lear-y-ily

MOCK MOCK MOCK MOCK TURTLE: Kvell within your shell like me

Just build a wall

MOCK MOCK TURTLE: That's better

MOCK MOCK MOCK TURTLE: Retract your head

MOCK TURTLE: You won't get wetter

MOCK MOCK MOCK MOCK TURTLE: Love is brief

MOCK MOCK TURTLE: And time's a thief

TURTLES: Climb into your shell of grief

MOCK TURTLE, spoken: So sweet...
