lyrics

Wicked Weather
(prayer version)


Cuchulain was drinkin when he wasn’t ‘sposed to
an’ his horse wandered off into a pasture,
An’ he threw such a big fit when he couldn’t find it
that he guzzled thirty gallons and slovenly slaughtered 96 men.
They found his horse jus’ a pissin in a glen.

Prayers of the Nation, cursed by the country,
Stitchin holes with syringes an’ landtaxing junkies,
Don’t ya pay no mind to that man hind the curtain
there’s worse entities of which you should be worried
an’ that’s for sure,
Don’t pinch yer precious pennies for the dimestore.

But breathe a little curse thrushed prayer for me
to relinquish me of this monstrosity.

Sermons on Thursdays an’ anal Tuesdays,
Sprinklin dust on the freshly acquired loosey,
Ya know I’ve felt so much older since that witch left the corner,
I crack sticks retrievin finger clasps but am stuck with smolderins of sap.
Of sap, that sticky, resinated, black slo crap...

But the monkey believed that he was still clever
even after bein tarred and feathered,
But he laid his pride down-low at an orangatang stripshow
When he discovered the equation that fumes the fury of men.

Jus’ send my best to the wasps an’ bees,
An’ implore them to take mercy on me.

Well I hope there’s still sachrine in the land of milked honey
Trade my million dollar credit for a tub of grubby money,
And if there aint no umbrella to ward off wicked weather
I’m sure we’ll rustle up some cardboard an’ trudge through the mire
self-assured.
Self-assured, it aint always a dirty word.

I was always fallin through,
I was always comin down for you.
