TestTubeBaby - The Salamander's Head Lyrics

I couldn't stop
Couldn't go
Couldn't make
The energy flow
From the zucchini
To the potato

And because of that
I had to dine
On monkey penis
And ovarian wine
And my thoughts
All the time
Exploded like
A misread sign

In the night
The cars are stuck in park
And the boys
Make out in the dark

And the police come
To see what they can see
They don't see you
But they see me

I'm on the telephone
But there's no one home
There's been a fire and it's too late
There wasn't time to evacuate

And I claim I don't care
That God is all
That nothing rises
And nothing falls

That nothing's old
And nothing's new
All of this I do
Eschew

While the waterfall spews
Light and love
And empties
The lake above

And without the lake
The lepers die
They know that Jesus Christ
Is a ridiculous lie

His words written in
Sumptuous, sinful red
Like the underbelly of a salamander
Or its crushed head

And the road is empty
And its soul is dead
Into the dip
Rolls the salamander's head

And the satellites
Are exploring the planetary possibilities
Pulling out fabrics by the metre, by the yard
Trying to destroy
All my foolish fantasies
That I don't remember anyway
They're so far off yonder
In the distance
Where I have no recompense
Where the equation ends
With a Neanderthal variable
And then the doctor
Takes my blood in search of lipids
