lyrics

‘His mouth is mealy’

Was at the foot of the list of all the pros and the cons

‘…and he spits when he talks.’

Everyone sing on account of your lies

We’re all teeth and hair, and spleen and liver and lungs

With skin like sugar

Last push to understand

The great rot

Of a tried and tested hand

With a somewhat loyal touch

The great rot

Doesn’t seem to matter much

Listen boy, and be aware

The great rot

React, don’t stand and stare.

Why breathe hate over lands made of lovers? On septic hands we crawl on mistakes.

Everybody dance, celebrate with the flies

This removal of breath, it takes a hold of your spine

And turns your stomach

Burns down so quickly

Oh so terribly cold, in the perpetual snow

So enjoy your Indian summer, before it ends.
