Lyrics
Cheating The Shadow
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.
Jello man cuts comers,
creeps unseen between the sheets.
When you're asleep,
he creeps inside you.
He's sinking in his teeth.
He's breaking legs!
He's laying eggs...
you should see him play the organ.
He whistles "Dixie" no your pipes,
and you (?) - you simply die of fright.
He slithers clean away and not one single soul survives.
Now I'm starving in my shrinkwrap.
I'm lying in the road.
I know he won't get me,
because I will live forever!
