Vic Chesnutt - Gluefoot lyrics

Cross my heart and cross my eyes
Stick a needle in my thigh
Drop kick my unscrewed lid
And fiddle fiddle fiddle fiddle
Fiddle with what's inside

A rusty mass of mechinations
Still i'm vying for the right vaccination

I make a masterful selection
Like louis pasteur
Certain i've found at least a temporary cure
If there's one thing i've learned
In this chemical world
It's very very very very very little is pure

My gluefoot sticks, i wrestle with it
I try to skedaddle but my gluefoot is fixed

If they'd give me a shovel
In this communication age
Maybe i'd have kept my mouth
Shut and done something today
I want to blame democracy
And it's inherent lies
I want to blame my heritage
For my leisurely demise

Everybody wants to wear the cleats
Everbody wants to be Dominique
I want to be someone separate from me
I want to have a sustained feeling

My gluefoot sticks, i wrestle with it
I try to skidaddle but my gluefoot is fixed
