Lying out there on the beach,
was a pleasant growth
In the reach of me and you,
in the reach of both

Tropical Flesh, Mandala
Tropical Flesh, Mandala
Floating in a moist exotic pool,
Feeling so good natured I could drool

So I took a photograph,
so there'd be no doubt
But when I got the pictures back
none of them came out

Tropical Flesh, Mandala
Tropical Flesh, Mandala
Underneath your ribcage and your skin,
Honey there's a new way to get in

It was covered in pink scales,
lots of tiny feathers
Valves that opened up and closed,
very tight together

Tropical Flesh, Mandala
Tropical Flesh, Mandala
On the night the creature came ashore,
someone told Joanna what they're for
