[Verse 1]
Hey little boy, what you got there?
Kind sir, it's a mollusk I've found
Did you find it in the sandy ground?
Does it emulate the ocean's sound?
Yes, I found it on the ground
Emulating the ocean's sound
[Chorus]
Bring forth the mollusk, cast unto me
Let's be forever, let forever be free
[Verse 2]
Hey little boy, come walk with me
And bring your newfound mollusk along
Does it speaketh of the Trinity?
Can it gaze at the sun with its wandering eye?
Yes, it speaks of the Trinity
Casting light at the sun with its wandering eye
[Chorus]
Bring forth the mollusk, cast unto me
Let's be forever, let forever be free
[Instrumental]
[Outro]
You see, there are three things that spur the mollusk from the sand (Yes)
The waking of all creatures, that live on the land (Yes)
And with just one faint glance, back into the sea (No)
The mollusk lingers... with its wandering eye (No)
[Instrumental]
The Mollusk was produced by Andrew Weiss.
Ween released The Mollusk on Tue Jun 24 1997.
“We re-recorded that at Claude Coleman’s house. I can’t remember if we overdubbed it a bit to make it sound better.”
-Deaner, in a 20th anniversary oral history of The Mollusk with Stereogum
With the song “The Mollusk”…we’d never had a title track. Of all the songs Aaron and I have written together, that’s hands-down my favorite. It was enough to make the title track. If we weren’t actually working or recording, there wasn’t much for us to actually do or anywhere to go.
The only thing...
