Lyrics
Do The Earth
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.
here's a picture from the house of meat
are you the person I'm scheduled to meet
to assess my skeleton's worth?
do the earth
curtains open and the guests are fried
in my attempt to seem dignified
I re-enact my birth
do the earth
do the earth I wanna ramble in opium fields
playing tricks on the invasion boys
penetrator like a space invader - do the earth
do the earth- this tear will never wash away
on any human sanitation day
and I will starve to death and wither away
unless you feed me
I'm too tired to run from the tiger
I'm too dumb to hide in the bushes
I'm a human costume with veins of gold
I'll face the punching bag - do what I'm told
til I get old and have to dwell
in the valley of the ironman
do the earth -- you beckon me and leave it up to fate
you offer salvation and I salivate
and the thought of my next free cheese
hear the voice
