Crisp Fang City #2

If you find yourself in crisp fang on the outskirts of LA
everybody who’s not a vampire eventually has to pay
nobody really llves there
nobody really gets away
crisp fangs for the hungry
i ate your dog today
if you hear about crisp city in a land once called ohio
you can go there if you really need but youre probably gonna die though

i got the planets all wrong when i rented an apartment

that band was underappreciated
they were the funnel thru which comes the light

the kings take sedatives
before speaking with the witches

we ask us why but no reply
matter of fact there is no sound

placid scamper town
01:08
|
|||
|
word sure gets around
in placid scamper town
when the old man got excited
they burned his business down
he watched from a rear window
his tears were hot and dry
he never cried in his youth
until he watched his hometown die
if you ever pass through there
you should not be scared
we still remember the fire and the lies
but our coffee is worth the drive

|
|||
|
if youve angered steak one
you know what youve done

when you sleep
jumping now
but it’s too deep
i think im done
i angered steak one
