This little light of mine
I'm gonna let is shine

Hide it under a bushel, no!
I'm gonna let it shine

Won't let Satan blow it out
I'm gonna let it shine

Let it shine when Jesus comes
I'm gonna let it shine

Murderous Bicurious Spiders

Butter Worship (Little Light)

I'll keep treading water just a little longer
To postpone having to board that ungodly ship that sails to you

Sell a minute to the one who calls
He lifts a spirit and it never falls
I got a ghost but she's a little one
She disappears under the yellow sun
Grab a heart and keep it in your head
When it sings that means it's underfed
Get some knowledge and some vitamin D
Compensate for your deficiency 

I'll keep biding my time until I see a sign
That tells me what I should do to get away from you for good

I found a wooden carving a Jesus
And it was doused in toxic tongue oil
Couldn't wrap my mind around it
Because my cerebellum doesn't coil
I bound it with some bloody red ribbon
And placed it in a hole down in the Earth
I dressed and decorated it with dirt
And I witnessed the miracle of girth

I've got a hammer and it's 
More than adequate for this glass
I wanna see it shatter
Pieces end up lost in the grass
I'll take you walking through it
But I won't permit any shoes
I don't care if you're willing
One way or another you'll lose

I'll keep treading water
Just a little longer

A Little Longer

She broke her toes, who knows? who knows?
She broke her toes, who knows?
I bloodied all her clothes, her clothes
I bloodied all her clothes
I didn't mean to do it
I didn't mean her harm
I didn't mean to send her running
With a shredded arm

Call me, c-call me
A wretch for I am guilty
First a vagrant, now a crook
Lock me in the pillory

I ran into the law, the law
I ran into the law
They slugged me in the jaw, the jaw
They slugged me in the jaw
Kindly, officer, desist
Take these shackles off my wrist
I would never dare resist
Take me in, I must insist 

Call me, c-call me
A wretch for I am guilty
First a vagrant, now a crook
Lock me in the pillory

I have lived a lie
This is not my place
Long hiding behind
Someone else's face
I cannot proceed
With this sick facade 
I succumb to the
Proverbial rod

Call me, c-call me
A wretch for I am guilty
First a vagrant, now a crook
Lock me in the pillory

Pillory

No one's doing what they should
I'd be there for you if I could
Though, currently it is no good
They nailed my legs and hands to wood
They only had to use three nails
The devil is in the details
To analyze all it entails
I will star 'til my sight fails

I will push this book for gold
And place the learning curve on hold
You needn't fear when you grow old
Just promise to do what you're told

Woke up this morning feeling fine
Thought I would share this love of mine
Invited all my friends to dine
I turned my water into wine
Of bread and fish prepared a meal
And everybody ate their fill
Then we trekked to the nearest ville
And passed out on a grassy hill

I will push this book for gold
And place the learning curve on hold
You needn't fear when you grow old
Just promise to do what you're told

And the book is nurture
And the book is torture
And the book is lecture
And the book is nature
And the book is sacred
And the book is hatred
And the book is dated
And the book is faded

I will push this book for gold
And place the learning curve on hold
You needn't fear when you grow old
Just promise to do what you're told

Devil In The Details

Abominations as far as the eye can see
Damnation, damnation
Some people swear to God you can never be free
Salvation, salvation

Worm dirt shitting out the skeleton trees
Fruit is ripe, bit is free
Rivers are raging in between the bark
Current flows vertically 
Bite down hard and maybe follow your dreams
Taste the moss as you float
Write songs about the twigs for years to come
Go back out on your boat

And meet me underneath the bridge we built
And meet me underneath the bridge
And meet me

Sandy people never rinse themselves off
I can't live, not like them
I try desperately to keep myself clean
Let us bathe, let us swim 

And meet me underneath the bridge we built
And meet me underneath the bridge
And meet me

Jesus, ease us from the beast and save us from damnation
We were never evil men so bless us with salvation-ation

Then maybe we'll reduce the bridge to dust
And watch it fall into the sea
Then maybe God will start to notice us
So meet me

Dievs

See me at the party
Watch me as I barely move
Maybe I am dying
Maybe I just lost my groove
I'll be trying new steps
Slowly as I swing my hair
When the party's over
It's as if I wasn't there
Turn the lights down
And turn up the sound

It's a smooth transition
From ghost to apparition 
I start heading homeward
In my drunken condition
I crawl into my bed
As the morning settles in
Laying their in darkness
Miles away from where I've been
Turn the lights down
And turn up the sound

Take a step back to the wall and
When you feel the music in you
Then let go
Tear a hole into the floor and
Don't worry about the others
It's your show

It's a smooth transition from ghost to apparition
Turn the lights down
And turn up the sound

Social Apparition

I was the foundation and the pillars
I was the walls and the ceiling beams
I did what I could to keep you standing
When the rest of the world was coming down

When the rest of the world was coming down
And no one else was hanging around
When the rest of the world was coming down
Down on you

I was the halls and I was the bedroom
I was everywhere you occupied
I was the staircase leading up to you
When the rest of the world was coming down

When the rest of the world was coming down
And no one else was hanging around
When the rest of the world was coming down
Down on you

World Coming Down

A puddle of blood accumulating, oh no
On the floor because of all the killing
Another one dead, another missing
Tiny devil men will come a'hissing

I got a little one boy, a little one girl
I got another one blot, another one hurl

Make a hole just big enough to lay in, oh no
Grab a shovel, go ahead and dig in
Nothing will get done unless you begin
Close your eyes and count backwards from heaven

I got a little one gown, a little one white
I got another one tall, another one height

High, Low

Ice cold water
Euthanize the martyr
Ice cube in the ravine
Estuary 
Pretty, pretty scary
Gives no life to the green
Black tar helmet
Opossum can whelm it
Sold out the killing team
Glowworm mother
Whisper undercover
Glimpse of her final gleam

Butter Frampton

Must be water dripping upwards into the chasm
Forming puddles so much deeper than I can fathom
Freezing and forming into a colossal glacier
Which will one day melt again and further the fissure

You make me feel alone but I make you feel alive
I never thought I would have to picture everything
For the first time

Spiders confused about their sexuality learning murder
And, with his Cleveland steamer, Dirty Sanchez made truffle butter
Butterflies inside my stomach, fly free now, no longer suffer
They were sixty nine and he was sixty nine

You make me feel alone but I make you feel alive
I never thought I would have to picture everything
For the first time

Drilling, drilling, drilling, drilling into open space
Until you find yourself trapped in an eggshell someplace
If you could make an impression of depression, you
Would realize it was an impression of you too

You make me feel alone but I make you feel alive
I never thought I would have to picture everything
For the first time

Picture

Killer whales, bloody sharks, 
Deadly alligators
Giant waves crashing down
Death to all spectators
Better run, better hide
Better not go surfing
Razor-sharp coral reef
So much blood is squirting

Just another day
Down by the bay
In the USA
It's summer va-k-k-k-k-k-k-cation

Bathing suits falling off
Running out of sunscreen
CPR, mouth to mouth
Save someone from drowning
That dude needs dramamine 
Best clean up that vomit
A barrage of jellyfish
Your friends can pee on it

Just another day
Down by the bay
In the USA
It's summer va-k-k-k-k-k-k-cation

Surf's Up!

The devil loves his pretty witch
He told me once when I was him
Her pleasure spell can tame him nigh
And fill him with vigor and vim

Lucifer in love with her
I concur, she sin the most

The devil loves his pretty witch
She licks his skin to snuff a flame
She stands with him at the sabbat
Baptizing herself in his name

Lucifer in love with her
I concur, she sin the most

The devil loves his pretty witch
He draws his sigil on her chest
They bathed themselves in virgin blood
The coven chants at his behest

Lucifer in love with her
I concur, she sin the most

She slit her wrist over his cup
He couldn't resist.  He drank it all up
They kissed and they kissed
And their teeth were red
She offered her soul
And soon they were wed

Lucifer in love with her
I concur, she sin the most
