lyrics

Fang Wounds

Show me the cat who thrives on criticism
Lets it in to all his witticisms,
Listens to the spoilt brat
But takes him just as that

Fang Wounds
That make what you see
Play to the tune of
me, me, me, me, me, me, me
Fang Wounds

Show me the Gate of Grimy Truth
Take me out onto its roof
So's can see disgusting sights
Let the thorns be my delight!

Show me its gums, show me its fangs
Or are we gonna ignore them?
Hear the sparrow at the dawn
Drop the tweet and sing foghorn

Fang Wounds
That make what you see
Play to the tune of
me, me, me, me, me, me, me

The Fang Wounds
That break up the skin
Those Fang Wounds
Show what's within

Despite the dung, I turn to the stable
And put in terms which you'll be able
Keep the clouds and keep the rain
Keep the rain and stay insane...

Fang Wounds
That make what you see
Play to the tune of
me, me, me, me, me, me, me
Fang Wounds
