The veil's been parted so keep your twisted legs hid
Because no rods are spared on a surly cripple of a kid
And when you're all three you should keep low in the ditch.
Pawn your locket for blankets on nights blacker than pitch.
When oaks begin to creak and lungs start to wheeze
(when folks begin to say "amen" I'll think again)
And you've made your last farthing from gathering leaves
You'll meet a monkey in a pulpit who'll pour silver on your hands
And make chimp out of Jesus and tell you how it began.

(Oh baby if only I'd made it all up see...)
Hell the blzzard's here and I've not spoken
(...I want you to treat me like I was equal)
Freely or dammed or closed or open
(She's open or not see...)
Ever ready, upright (..but my heart was unlocked)
You'll be lashed soon enough for those spells, short and smashed,
When I was looking for love
It's time for a change beyond your control,
Clippers are tossed as the seas start to roll

The kid got low slithering around
Stomach on cinders eating worms that she found
Has a plague pit for a neighbour and first pick on a plot
Gnaws long and yellow on roots that won't rot
The bit bores black and the bed spits it out
Leaves our sopping wretch with five tenths of a shout
In the earth's juice 'neath the crust she's taken aback
To the glory years of sudden attack
That's what you got if you add it up
Gum, bottletops and pennies in a pewter cup
And that's what I am since I got so give in
Held out my hand and I waited to be shaken.
