about

Concerning semi-mythological creatures and sewer dwellers.

lyrics

In the land of bourbon and honey
I sat aside as a spectator only
Given the fruit, I neglected to bite
An abstinent scholar of Earthly delight

And the crest rolls on, I keep getting better
I still haven't found the letter I wrote to the school newspaper
Detail in distaste and displeasure
Your silent disapproval is the highlight of my day
I must not break so lightly despite every
A
N
X
I
E
T
Y

(and then it fades out)
