I'm pulling the pavement from under my nails
I brush past a garden, dependent on whales
The sloping companion I cast down the ash
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
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?
Maybe so and maybe not (Maybe so and maybe not) [4x]
Was it for this my life I sought? (Maybe so and maybe not)
Control for smilers can't be bought (Maybe so and maybe not)
The solar garlic starts to rot (Maybe so and maybe not)
Was it for this my life I sought? (Maybe so and maybe not) [4x]you come looking for protection
a revolver in your hand
and that puts it in a language
that I think I understand
don't need to concentrate
to push it through
you know you've sent it
'cause I'm coming back to you
anybody with a brain will tell you
that you cannot win
but just ask the brainless wonder
living underneath my skin
I'll tell you anything
but what is true
no sense in giving in
I'm coming back to you
back to you
anybody with a brain will tell you
that you cannot win
but just ask the brainless wonder
living underneath my skin
I'll tell you anything
but what is true
no sense in giving in
I'm coming back to you
back to you...
