Your Shell Of Grief

[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
