Melvins - (A) Senile Animal lyrics



Tracks



01. The Talking Horse

Music & lyrics by Melvins
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

02. Blood Witch

Music & lyrics by Melvins
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

03. Civilized Worm

Music & lyrics by Melvins
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

04. A History of Drunks

Music & lyrics by Melvins
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

05. Rat Faced Granny

Music & lyrics by Melvins
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...

06. The Hawk

Music & lyrics by Melvins
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

07. You've Never Been Right

Music & lyrics by Melvins
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]

08. A History of Bad Men

Music & lyrics by Melvins
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

09. The Mechanical Bride

Music & lyrics by Melvins
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

Music & lyrics by Melvins
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.
