Frontier Ruckus - Springterror lyrics

Look at all the steam off the snow We listen to the Top 40 country radio blow 
Listen to the singer, trying to put my finger on who k**ed who When it does linger, the sweet nostril-stinger of the spring's mildew Was it your will to take his pill orally? 
Or did you act perfunctorily? The lamp-shadow dampness 
The safe world of campus The water of your high school eyes Some stadium 
Some old college tries There in my stomach the liquor heated 
With every place I ever trick-or-treated and 
We used to message through the ink of night With skin still young and pink and tight Back when the tongue thrust with all of our young lust The dimple-chin brunettes who make simpleton pets of me And yes I'm a heel, but with Peter's keel 
I will cut through the lily-pads 
The moping mothers and hillbilly dads And the billboard dentist from White Lake to East Lansing With his day-glo halo sentence entrancing The moon makes lake-water out to be a filmy skin But who can begin to tell what skin holds far within Oh the bathers Oh the toweling Your cells are saviors that ring wet bells growling and 
You have the black eyes Just holes filled with night skies 
A saddening sweetness through your kid-sister-sighs Where the Sylvan Lake corner is flickering with childhood And the mourner within me feels older than wildwood 
And if I knew what part of me was wax I would try to truncate it with a black sopping night axe
