lyrics

Rotten old head of Satan
I found it in the stream
A gnarled piece of wood or a strangely shaped stone
Or something in between
I nearly took it home with me
To make a grotesque trophy
But in the end I changed my mind
And I splashed it back into the stream
o well
Betty says it’s still sittin’ there today
Waitin’ on our children’s children
Or maybe their children’s children’s children
Or maybe their children’s children’s children’s children
Or some people that come after that

I said “Old gnarled head of Satan”
Just a-sittin’ back and watching the show
while the snowflakes melt on the water as she flows
Yeah!
old rotten head of Satan, a-waiting for the day
When it can rise again and let the slaughter off the chain
And break a chin…
I’m not gonna be here then, no I’ll be far away from here
I'll have forgotten everything, all about today
Yes, I'll be far away in the far away beyond
Out in the stars with a stream of cars that’s evacuating
on the Governor's orders
Where there’s no more arrows pointing to the world we knew
Not not today don't worry and not right now don’t worry
And not right here but
Far away where the snow is smooth
Where in his snake form Satan moves
So don’t you say it’s all my fault
So pass the pepper, and have the salt
Maybe I should’ve buried you in Earth’s molten core
I didn’t sow the seed, just threw it in the storm
Oh in the muddy runoff stream, in the earthly stream
the earth is a dream, that I can’t wake up from
Goodnight
