lyrics

the old man with crooking fingers swiped the crust out of my chin
he wanted me to get fatter and make a coat of of my skin
the sunshine that make fruits grow, his light shines upon us
but every quarter got two sides, some apples are poisonous
the gummy bear man melted in the sun and what he left behind
was a acidic smell in the air, a sugary puddle on the ground
the old man with crooked fingers played his guitar with his tongue
banging the floor with his cold feet while singing a sailor song
he took a picture of a picture and you pined it on the wall
he stole the sunny seasons and left us with winter and fall
the old man with crooked fingers drain the blood out of body
then he cooked some blood sausages and made me feast on it
i was feeling kinda dizzy couldn't stand up on my feet
so i lied down on the pavement and still feeling really weak
my soul was feeling lighter as it was getting out of my body
two sausages and an hairy coat was all that was left of me
