Writing a lyric about a tongue

I'm trying to collect feelings of 'tongue', as physical as possible, that feeling of alienation when you think about your tongue, and suddenly it doesn't seem like part of your mouth. I thought this could be a nice lyrical basis for a rather strange, textural piece of music. If you have any thoughts on this, ideas that I can use, I'd be glad if you could share them with me.

  1. It doesn't feel part of me when it has a carpet of wrong coloured stuff growing on it.

  2. The strangest part about the tongue for me is how we don't bite it off more often. it's such a soft thing and yet we continually chomp away without damaging it.

  4. And Richard, the tongue carpet ... what other part of your body grows its own carpet ... brilliant
