Mike Keneally - Skunk lyrics

Bleak image that cause you pain This palace is Skunk's domain His spirit's an open sore His whimsy results in war Maybe it's a shattered childhood Maybe he could never smile good Sympathy he never mastered Maybe he's a rotten ba*tard But he ran his fingers down my spine Tried to make his madness mine Took me to a distant hillside Tried to make my spirit cyanide Tried to screw my heart and soul then Took a step back and told him No you won't be k**ing my love for life He smile a wicked his tooth a knife He said he wouldn't let me leave him I said I would be glad to grieve him He said I do what he shall will me I said you're gonna have to k** me He said it isn't wise to spurn him I said I would be glad to burn him He said he making my life his life I took myself out a buckknife And I put a cut in his big red eye Took a jump off the cliff to fly I hear him screaming and how he cried He flying bleeding he by my side Flying to the sun and higher Bursting in a ball of fire Falling to the earth and water In the arms of Neptune's daughter Blind and nearly dead I felt her Offering me food and shelter Quiet as a naked schoolmouse Found me an abandoned farmhouse Then she said to me you must come and hide I am here for you, come inside We remaining for seven days Free from enemy's poison gaze Waking up from our sleeping We thought we heard a tiny weeping Took a peek out of the window Suddenly a ma**ive wind blow And the whole place is torn to shreds Skunk laughing with one eye dead He tried to reach and grab my love But that I won't hear of Grabbed the s**er by his collar Said I'm gonna make you holler Tore his every leg and arm off Threw his noggin in the barn trough Made a stew from his intestine Safe to say I fully messed him Then there was a change in weather s**er pulled himself together Well, thank God my lady had run away Skunk k** me with one foul spray Bleak image that cause you pain This palace is Skunk's domain
