A7b9

I'm pulling the pavement from under my nails.

Dm7

I brush past a garden, dependent on whales.

A7b9

The sloping companion I cast down the ash.

Dm7 [stop-n.c.]

Yanked on my tunic and dangled my stash.

Zipping through the forest with the curdling fleas.

To grow with them spindles, the mutant I seize.

I capture the dread beast who falls to his knees.

And cries to his cohorts, asleep in the trees.

[repeat above riffs in different keys, listen to song]

Smegma, dogmatagram, fishmarket stew.

Police in a corner, gunnin' for you.

Appletoast, bedheated, furblanket rat.

Laugh when they shoot you; say, "Please don't do that."

Control for smilers can't be bought.

The solar garlic starts to rot.

Was it for this my life I sought?
