[Verse 1]
Flat nose whistle goes up ahead
Up ahead on the El Greco grunt
[Chorus 1]
God creates man and then animals
Bilge!
God creates animals and then man
Jackaroo in the slew
Let its tinnitustic needles sew back shadow
[Verse 2]
She holds a baby made of towels all up ahead
Up ahead on the baleen bronchial
[Chorus 2]
Jacob's offspring in Egypt totalled seventy
Hogwash!
Jacob's offspring in Egypt totalled seventy five
Contritio/Attritio
Let the leashes strain sustain those jaw-joints surging
[Verse 3]
Aw-shucks, aw-gee
The Porter sticks with the Porter's dreams
Shoot to a wing-tip pawing the ground
I wouldn't trust him
Not to dance a drachma across his knuckles
Twenty-seven inches from heel to heel
Lardie, Lardie, Lardie
While every skin is raised
While every eye was grazed
[Verse 4]
Thrushy-tongue lolling up ahead
Up ahead on the sarcomere stump
[Chorus 3]
The women came to the tomb at dawn
Booty chatter!
The women came when the sun had risen
Laps/Relapse
Let this throat's Colombian necktie choke that Franglais
[Verse 5]
Flat nose whistle goes up ahead
Up ahead on the Pilates punk
[Chorus 4]
The righteous shall flourish like a palm tree
GTFO
The righteous shall perish and no man layeth it to heart
I swerved away into the dark
[Outro]
Forty-five inches from heel to heel
Forty-five inches from heel to heel
Forty-five inches from heel to heel
There but for the grace of God goes God
