lyrics

there are weeds which I have climbed
fist over fist born into this from soil to vine

from pirouette to paranoid
a captive thrill, a cinder line

all the crooks were fierce and stout
(I was growing grim about the mouth)
but the fix fell from the garret of my house
hit the garden like an earthquake

they called me faggot
they called me queer
but now all of my girls smell like lavender
they whisper softly in my ear
"there's got to be more sex in here"

but twizzlers turn, lackadais
in that backwards swimming oyster maze

no more my heart and maddened hand
were turned against the wolfish world of man

water swirling lazily around your one green oily eye
you put the grease in Graceland,
I in that backwards oyster maze

they called me faggot
they called me queer
but now all of my girls smell like lavender
they shout it out from far and near
"there's got to be more sex in here"

swiftly softened silhouette,
there's endless foreign trenches yet
went from paranoid to pirouette
in that backwards oyster maze
