Lyrics

Uh, greasy, grimy gopher guts
Poolside, 0 for 1, I don't forget spoons twice
Lukewarm Folgers, mold on his moonpie
Rooms in his home that dissipate into fruit flies
Suicide lane, wide load, ride looting
In the wake of an amicable marooning
My duty go from moving in packs, to sharing food with a cat
To, "Ma, it's me, I accidentally sawed a woman in half"

She said, "I'll keep you in my prayers"
I said, "I need to hide a body"
She said "Okay, honey, talk to you on Friday"
Apparently we share a common plasma
So the growing disconnection doesn't matter
According to the blood-and-water chapter, weird
Who wrote the blood-and-water chapter anyway?
Probably some surly dad, only child, 30 cats
Lookin' for a way to reconnect with an averted past
Except it doesn't always work like that

Today I pulled three baby snakes out of moss and dirt
Where the wild strawberry vines toss and turn
I told them, "You will grow to be something inventive and electric
You are healthy, you are special, you are present"
Then I let them go
Oh

You were sitting at the gate awaiting spirits and provisions
I was privy to a headache over pirouetting innards
In the mirror sweating pictures, who's there? Simian or lizard?
As it were, there is a disappearing difference
In ambition and material
Antiquated gentleman, outlaws reduced to a ferris wheel of vitriol
Move as a godless heathen, black gums, tooth gone
Bootleg Yukon Cornelius

I'ma sh-, that's better, here we, here we go
Disenchanted face printed on a zero-dollar bill
Got a little plot of land where authority isn't recognized
Contraband keepin' the core of his Hyde Jekyll-ized, check!
Nevermind a misanthrope, vying for affection
To the wretched sound of mysticism dying
It is something he must handle on his own
The windblown way, wanna win? Don't play

Today I pulled three green frogs out of leaf and bark
Where the grapevines climb a convenient barn
I told them, "You will grow to be something tenacious and exalted
You are mighty, you are gracious, you are lauded"
Then I let them go
Oh

I have been completely unable to maintain any semblance of
Relationship on any level (level)
I have been a bastard to the people who have actively attempted
To deliver me from peril (peril)
I have been acutely undeserving of the ear that listen up
And lip that kissed me on the temple (temple)
I have been accustomed to a stubborn disposition
That admits it wish its history disassembled (disassembled)

I have been a hypocrite in sermonizing tolerance
While skimming for a ministry to pretzel (pretzel)
I have been unfairly resentful of those I wish that acted different
When the bidding was essential (was essential)
I have been a terrible communicator
Prone to isolation over sympathy for devils (devils)
I have been my own worst enemy
Since the very genesis of rebels (genesis of rebels)

Today I pulled three ghost crabs out of rock and sand
Where the low tide showcased a promised land
I told them, "You will grow to be something dynamic and impressive
You are patient, you are gallant, you are festive"
Then I let them go
Oh

(On and on and on and on and)
(On and on and on and on and)
(On and on and on and on and)
(On and on and on and on and)

(On and on and on and on and)
(On and on and on and on and)
(On and on and on and on and)
(On and on and on and on and)
