Hail Mary Mallon - Church Pants lyrics

Morning came as a black fog rolled away
From the gray sky the children huddled
In the deepest corner of the basement
A wind rose, lightly at first
But then it seemed to
Tire of merely playing at the dust It doubled
It's muscles and struck out at the
Rock walls it struck again and again, causing
Whole mountains to tremble
Boulders, cliff knolls
Ridges and peaks - everything
Seemed to tremble
At once from plateau to summit!

When the rats rose up and broke their silence
And assembled on the shores
Of the closest island
With their folk beside them
And a rogue defiance
Went 2 by 2 and awoke Poseidon
2 by 2 by 2 by 2 2 by 2 by 2 by 2
2 by 2 by 2 by 2

Leopard print Speedo on the FDR
Saying "follow that car"
Same maze different shit name
Sake blanket pocked
49 miners slick pick and pan, thanks a lot
Hook and reel pushing wheels
Building more storied land
Honest deal daily dose, aching bone
Quarry hand i praise the day that porn began
Loser wins a Kewpie doll
Not-the-father Maury dance
Saddle spin apple sins kings that cry
Ousted by the clergy we're not
Worthy of the crimson tide
Let it be just beware of prison pride
Proud Mary keep on burning down
The house there’s kids inside
Give it time speaking soft send him in
Tell him what he’s here for and appear
Sure to his next of kin
Set your sails bed of nails elbow back
Trading in the British pound sitting
Down with Meadow's dad
Kettles black might explode sign the paper
Resuscitate me if the doctors are
The kind that cater
Labor party line, primed with wine and wafer
You’ll get buried in the
Desert like I’m Gator, hater!

When the rats rose up and broke their silence
And assembled on the shores
Of the closest island
With their folk beside them
And a rogue defiance
Went 2 by 2 and awoke Poseidon
2 by 2 by 2 by 2 2 by 2 by 2 by 2
2 by 2 by 2 by 2

Pink bunny slippers on the FDR
Saying "follow that car"
Moth man morph devoid of a new cocoon
More aches in his joints than
Joints in his human suit no cigar
Scoop dirt smitty over hook-in-mouth
Foot work itchy for a hoof and snout
Do or die intruder bound
Zoomed on the stupefying truancy of
Santa's little helpers watching millie
Pull her Brooklyn out
Part hex, part dark RX
Part kill the headlights when
Approaching a harpy nest
Ever oscillating Arp noise
Operate and charter stone hearts
Out of gargoyles
Ditto on the guard dogs, ruff!
This is not behavior distorted by
The presence of other personage
More a naturally occurring perfect mess
Couriering letters from the burning bridge
Paranormal death match, check back early-ish
Crack bread, marry a cursed hand
To it's weapon like a
Slurpee to church pants
I circle the worm can
I'm 21 spud guns burped over Birdland
Whole time swervin' the work van

When the rats rose up and broke their silence
And assembled on the shores
Of the closest island
With their folk beside them
And a rogue defiance
Went 2 by 2 and awoke Poseidon
2 by 2 by 2 by 2 2 by 2 by 2 by 2
2 by 2 by 2 by 2

2 by 2 by 2 by 2
2 by 2 by 2 by 2 2 by 2 by 2 by 2
2 by 2 by 2 by 2 2 by 2 by 2 by 2
2 by 2 by 2 by 2 2 by 2 by 2 by 2
2 by 2 by 2 by 2
