lyrics

Trap-jaw’s hammer’s like a concubine,
A mouth full of whiskey and turpentine
Horseman’s spear will do anything,
To reinstate him as the newborn king
Swamp-boy crawls for a high grass bass,
The other boys think he’s a little crass
Crank-shaft Jimmy door the great I am,
the fifty-third cousin to son of Sam

Goddamn! it’s my seventeenth birthday
but I don’t care I’m gonna shoot myself anyway
Innocence in a sense is bliss
but ignorance in a sense is piss and vinegar

Gnawed off heads of Floridians,
Twenty-seven buckets to carry them in
Stabbed through the heart of an old centaur,
On his way to be a Bollywood star
Cover up the gills with a wool knit scarf,
Stammer into town and make the young girls barf
Pick the lock to the parishioner’s door,
It’s time to make him feel like a little whore

Goddamn! it’s my seventeenth birthday
But I don’t care I’m gonna shoot myself anyway
Innocence in a sense is bliss
But ignorance in a sense is piss and vinegar…

…so much unsaid…I got a bullet in my head…and now I’m dead
