The Melvins : (A) Senile Animal
Lyrics
1. THE TALKING HORSE
The golden talking equine god
Speaks nothing but rage
The nature of the burning bee
Means nothing to no way
The burning talking nowhere near
Means nothing to me
The golden talking equine god
Means nothing to no way
2. BLOOD WITCH
Right in the blood
Maybe it's alive
Cause it's loaded
Worse on their own
Bottom of the world
But they mean it
Nothing will be worse
We have learned to think
Cause it might be
The nows and the knees
How will we breathe?
And they like it
3. CIVILIZED WORM
We move more, man I would like to gamble
I came with my poor four eyes
Crawling weakly warning my favorite come and lie here
Under my bed or deep under my fingers
Where are my hands and knees in times of winding
We night, it's only when we civilize that worm
For vagrant times we need it
What secret of your knowing is the beginning
WHOA!!!
Fine chance to be home, believe it, believe it
His widow's nest is growing cold
Set sail and hide your head
Look alive your going home
Look alive your going home
Wait Wait Wait Wait
Fine chance to be here, believe me, believe it
This widow's nest is growing cold
Set sail and hide your head
Walk the line your going home
Walk the line your going home
4. A HISTORY OF DRUNK
She helped me remove the bullet from my leg
She took the blade, dug them out while I lay screaming
She showed me bloody things and held them in her hand
And said that these were hers and put them in her pocket
I begged her to shoot me in the head
She took my gun and shot my leg instead
The way she held my gun and looked at me with rage
Told me that everything was OK and I survived
And now she stays with me, it's crazy but she's mine
She tells me I'm insane because she doesn't lie
She was the killing me, she left me here to die
And all the ways that worries all right
5. RAT FACED
The owls are burning
She's sick of me
And I'm not leaving
So what's the story?
Like a good night's
They flash in nowhere
I couldn't be bothered
That's hurting me
The night of victory
He's ranked you bloody
I can't believe
And now it's over
Wild, nothing new
A night, nothing new
Oh, you think you're wild, but you're nothing new
And now you're wombed
Nothing new
And that's a wild, but it's nothing new
And now you're older
Nothing
What? Nothing new.
A night? Nothing new.
What about the heart, friend?
But now you're even
And you're worried
Nothing new
Don't even worry, and we'll think it's good
Good, good, good...
6. THE HAWK
Hey there, Mr Nightmare
Now you're lost
(Basics only)
The gutter and the martyr
Have left you alone
(Basics only)
The learned and the sparrow
Are all eaten by hawks
(Basics only)
Now you're in the nightmare
It's not your fault
(Basics only)
The wings of holy nightmare
Come drifting in
(Basics only)
Where is all your cold wind
Where is what you knew?
(Basics only)
Now the gutter martyr, now alive and well yeah
Now the morning after is just you and yours
7. YOU'VE NEVER BEEN RIGHT
The rabies, and what we think is right
We're babies, not alive
The mirror, and why we change our names
Becomes clearer, not alive [x2]
8. A HISTORY OF BAD MEN
Wake up, you never looked so glum
Tell me how will we know they can't hear us coming?
It's easy for me, I got a headstart running away
Keep up or your disease spread quick
So how did you learn to be sick, so cunning
It's easy to sing but you just keep on humming along
Did you hear that, I got a real bad feeling
How many moles do you suppose they're keeping?
Don't make a sound they're not dead, just sleeping
Dire, dire, dire, it's fleeting
Dire, dire, dire, it's fleeting
Dire, dire, dire, it's fleeting
Dire, dire, dire, it's fleeting
Dire, dire, dire, it's fleeting
Dire, dire, dire, it's fleeting
Yeah
Wake up, you never looked so glum
Tell me how will we know they can't hear us coming?
It's easy for me, I got a headstart running away
Keep up or your disease spread quick
So how did you learn to be sick, so cunning
It's easy to sing but you just keep on humming along
Did you hear that, I got a real bad feeling
How many moles do you suppose they're keeping?
Don't make a sound they're not dead, just sleeping
9. The Mechanical Bride
We are undone
And all I could see
They listen to the world
They live upon the earth
Mother made man
And you're so crazy
And they would say we're sane
Kneel beside the blood
We are undone
Somewhere no one
As soon as it was born
Did love of where he stood
No lamb will live
And underrate this
We're staring at the sun
As many as I love
No water and a lie
Covered it over
No power in the house
And with it, they do harm
I can believe
That you're so crazy
And welcome to the end
You wish you were alone
10. A Vast Filthy Prison
Take care of my princess,
Take her cause we live alone.
If you weren't so simple,
I would never come alone.
Raise your hand to heaven,
Now raise the one thats half alive.
You said you'd give a fortune,
If you could have it everynight.
The world is full of evil,
Now which of those are one of you.
Where is my one true angel,
With her golden wings so open.
Some would call it heaven,
Some would call it bravery.
I would call it neither,
I would call it thievery.
