Empathy With The Devil - Lyrics by Tear Garden


Lyrics
My flavor is the stuff of locusts. Hot chili firebrand spitting volcanoteeth.  Bleeding skies, sulpher mines... The foul breath of Satan's favoritegutter worm.  You feel me when I'm close - an ice wind of steel stilettoshammered in your spine.  Quicksilver nausea spinning, spewing forth andeverything's a mess.  every posession you ever had - wrecked - lying at yourfeet.  Telegrams that tell you God is dead piled high on the TV.  Theincessant TV.  Burbling.  Distorted.  A cheesecake nun advertising 20 brandsof sea cow lemon shit in 60 different languages.  A gargoyle handjives forthe hard of hearing.  Subliminals.  Criminals.  Phoney buisinessmen in thickrimmed glasses.  Bad comedians.  Laughing bags aping the Hallelujah chorus -the forgotton version - out of key (slightly).  Just enough to annoy you.
My flavor is cheap perfume on rotting Man-
Ray maggots! Dead maggots. Myflavor's a wound re-opening by surprise, green fishes eyes flowing out.
Wriggling things. Gelatinous. Still alive and screaming - out of key(slightly). Just enough to annoy you. My flavor's a plunging elevator amillisecond before it hits the cellar. A cellar with mutated rats. Old -very old - lost teeth. Abortions. Garbage. So pungent it hums - out ofkey (slightly). Just enough to annoy you. My flavor's your flavor. Deepwithin you. Hidden. Waiting to get out...
