Lyrics
California/Fetid Adder's Tongue
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Wake in the morning, the hold of the anchor
The walk of the cunning, the hole in the ship
It's easy to be firemen in a house made of brick
So spit the puss from your mouth, you bastard
You ruin my dress when you talk
Given a sentence, laid on a plate
Shake hands and eat the shit
The acquitted were hard rung through a dripping cloth
Given a sentence, laid on a plate
Shake hands and eat the shit
The acquitted were hard rung through a dripping cloth
Laugh like an empty can with a string
Seven times you wrap your craven tongue around a torch
It's easy to be firemen in a house made of brick
So spit the puss from your mouth, you bastard
You ruin my dress when you talk
Swine they wallow, they scuttle there a paradise of muck
Hens they cackle, they love to talk they love their suffering
