Lyrics
So I pushed and pushed and pushed them, through the towns and through thebushes and the word was spreading like a lie. "
Come and see the holytwo-some. They can heal and they can do some things that no one ever didbefore." And so they came for holy healing, both the belching andthesquealing, and the ones who maybe just were bored. Down the aisle theyslowly paraded, while I smiled and masqueraded as the kindly keeper of thetouch. Kneeling them along aa line, I taped a tiny piece of pine upon thechin of each and every one. And then from this a copper wire stretchedacross a tubeless tire and ended in a round and reddish clamp. Then atonce the fees were taken, and the apprehension shaken for the twins wouldsilently appear. Full of life and love and smiling knowing not that allthe while I too was smiling to myself inside. Silently I stood betweenthem holding up the crimson gleaming circle with the ends now pried apart.
Then I lifted up the cover softly like it was my lover and I felt themshudder as they sighed. As I clampedthe metal on it, something like aliquid donut shimmered as the holy union flexed. Then the people screamedand shouted, as the donut grew and spouted little bitty dust balls made offire. And these soon enough descended down the lines and finally ended atthe screams of joy and pain and fear. For soon the cripples would bewalking and the dummies would be talking but no one knew exactly how orwhy.--------------------------------------------------------------------------
